Adani Enterprises, a part of the Adani Group, has introduced what is claimed to be India's first hydrogen fuel cell truck in Raipur as part of efforts to promote cleaner transportation. These hydrogen-powered trucks are set to gradually replace diesel vehicles in the company's logistics operations. Equipped with 'smart technology' and three hydrogen tanks, each truck has a capacity of carrying up to 40 tonnes of cargo over a 200-kilometer range. The initiative, in collaboration with Indian and international energy technology firms and a major auto manufacturer, aims to revolutionize cargo transport. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai flagged off the first truck, which will transport coal from the Gare Pelma III Block to the state's power plant. The project reflects the state's commitment to sustainability, with a focus on reducing the carbon footprint and setting new industry standards. Adani Group's CEO highlighted the company's dedication to decarbonization and responsible mining practices with the integration of various technologies like solar power and autonomous dozer push. This joint effort between Adani Natural Resources and Adani New Industries Limited will source hydrogen cells and other renewable energy technologies to support the transition towards cleaner fuels in the mining sector. The adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which emit only water vapor and warm air, will not only reduce emissions but also noise pollution from diesel-powered machinery. This move is expected to contribute towards lowering India's crude oil imports and overall carbon footprint. The project marks a significant milestone in the journey towards sustainable transportation and mining practices in India.
