In an effort to give a push to use of clean energy, the Army has decided to procure electric vehicles(EV) including buses, cars and two-wheelers for its peace stations.
The plan envisages designated units at these stations having 25 per cent light vehicles (cars), 38 percent buses and 48 percent motorcycles will be replaced with electric vehicles.
Various factors unique to the Indian Army – employability, remote locations and operational commitments – were considered to arrive at a definite time-bound road map, defence sources said here on Wednesday. India has emerged as one of the leaders to exceed global targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 2070.
