I agree with Amitabh Kant's perspective.
The following numbers surprised me:
Trucks are <5% of vehicles.
They use 40% road fuel &
44% of transport emissions.
They cause ~50% Harmful-
Particulate and NOx.
Electric trucks can change this. 🚛⚡
Lower emissions --> Cleaner air.
Lower logistics costs.
Better energy security for India.
Policy and charging must scale together.
Technology alone cannot transform freight.
My takeaway?
Batteries are not the biggest challenge.
Duty cycle is.
Continuous power and
Thermal management decide reliability.
Battery swapping can maximize fleet uptime. 🚛⚡
Which single barrier delays India's
Electric trucks the most:
🔌 Charging corridors,
💲 Fleet economics, or
📜 policy certainty?
