The transport department will soon start a study to examine the feasibility of converting Government trucks into Electric Vehicles to reduce pollution levels in Delhi. The study, to be conducted by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), will commence next week and the recommendations will be submitted in a couple of months.<\/p>\n
Explaining the idea behind the study, Amit Bhatt, ICCT managing director (India), told PTI, \u201cWe are trying to see if we can electrify the government trucks like garbage disposal trucks, water tankers, horticulture trucks. In order to do that, we will see their energy consumption so that in future, when they are electrified, we will know what kind of battery they will need and the charging infrastructure that will be needed.\u201d Bhatt said trucks cause a lot of emission and their electrification is needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have finalised the data collection method and will start the study soon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
