70% of India's domestic freight is moved by medium and heavy-duty trucks (MHDTs). Of the 5.7 million trucks operating on Indian roads as of January 2024, over 90% were using diesel. The electrification of MHDTs presents untapped opportunities for #climateaction in India. We recently co-hosted a workshop on ZETs in India: Building Capacity, Driving Impact. The event brought together Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), Financial Institutions (FIs) and Shippers. It provided a platform for robust knowledge sharing on zero-emission trucks (ZETs). Among the highlights were: ⭕ Discussions on high purchase cost of ZETs in India ⭕ The need to make ZET related operational data available to FIs to instil confidence in the technology ⭕ Concerns around battery costs and safety ⭕ Asset utilisation, which is the minimum distance the truck runs to be considered viable in operations, and its impact on the total cost of e-truck ownership (TCO) ⭕ Boosting ZET adoption among large fleet owners ⭕ ZET financing support options such as carbon credits The workshop was organised by us in partnership with the CoEZET IITMadras, under the aegis of NITI Aayog's #e-FAST platform. Know more about our work on ZETs here: https://lnkd.in/gjWbNFmi Divya Sharma Atul Mudaliar Ashish Saraswat Kumar Nitant Sumit Agrawal Shivangi Dhingra Khushi Sharma Ravi M Indian Institute of Technology, Madras Sharvari Patki Rahul Bagdia Vikrant Vaidya Barsha Paul

"The food procurement budget of governments can reach up to 12 - 20%. It's very important to work on this topic to decarbonise food supply chains, and meet our global climate targets." We sat down with Head of Climate Group Europe, Jeroen Gerlag, to understand why food is one of the focus areas of our work. ⭕ We need to understand the capacity gaps and the barriers in relation to setting sustainable food procurment strategies and policies. ⭕ We want to learn from city-level food procurement and transfer this to subnational governments. ⭕ We're working toward achieving a net-zero food system We'll be discussing food at #ClimateWeekNYC.
