Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the local arm of the world’s largest truck maker, is continuing its strategy to tailor products for the domestic market’s needs and is now exploring a range of cleaner fuel options right from CNG, biodiesel, hydrogen fuel cell and electric trucks and buses for the same.
“We know we have to shift towards carbon-free mobility. We know we have to shift from a product organisation to a mobility organisation for the next 5-10 years and all key pieces are being put in place right now. We believe that industry will move away from diesel to biodiesel, gas, electric and hydrogen fuel cell and for a certain point of time, all three of them will co-exist,” Satyakam Arya, MD of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, told ET.
