Nitin Gadkari bats for indigenous mobility solutions to reduce pollution

Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari batted for the development of “cost-effective, pollution-free indigenous mobility solutions and the use of alternative fuels like ethanol, methanol, LNG, Green Hydrogen and Bio-CNG for transportation” on Friday. The minister was speaking at the valedictory function of the 17th edition of the Symposium on International Automotive Technology (SIAT). The programme was organised virtually by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) in association with SAEINDIA and SAE International (USA).

“We have to modify our approach towards how we are looking at the life cycle of energy, which we are using for our transportation. The most appropriate way is the ‘cradle-to-grave approach’, which takes into account carbon emission right from the method of generation of energy till its emission,” the minister added.
