"We have established by now that vehicular #Pollution is one of the biggest contributing factors to Delhi’s pollution, and heavy vehicles like buses have the maximum share. Considering the increasing severity of the problem every year, the transport department needs to take stringent measures like completely stop the entry of buses with #emission levels below BS-6 into Delhi, and reprioritise deployment. Additionally, it should encourage #ZeroEmission #ElectricBuses through financial and non-financial means like access to inner city areas and priority parking at depots,”- Amit Bhatt was quoted in the latest story by Snehil Sinha in Hindustan Times about DTC's plans to segregate Delhi's ISBTs by bus origin to reduce pollution and congestion.

One of our reports authored by Aviral Yadav and Nikita Pavlenko found that electric heavy-duty vehicles (including #trucks) produced in India today offer the greatest reductions in #GHG emissions and their impact can be increased significantly by a faster phaseout of coal in India’s #ElectricityGrid. When they are powered with #Renewable electricity, the GHG emissions are up to 83% lower! Our latest video we highlight how the adoption of #ElectricTrucks in India and how these trucks can drive India toward a #Sustainable future.
