Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the Adani Group, has deployed India’s first hydrogen-powered truck for mining logistics in Chhattisgarh, equipped with smart technology and three tanks that can carry 40 tonnes of cargo for 200 km.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai flagged off the first truck in Raipur on Saturday. It will be used to transport coal from the Gare Pelma III Block to the State’s power plant.
The State-owned Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company has appointed Adani Enterprises as the mine developer and operator for the Gare Pelma III block through a competitive-bidding process.
“The launch of India’s first hydrogen-powered truck in Chhattisgarh reflects the State’s commitment to sustainability. Such initiatives will significantly reduce our carbon footprint and set a new standard for industry. Chhattisgarh is not only at the forefront in meeting the country’s electricity demands but also leads by example in adopting sustainable practices,” said the chief minister.
With an aim to promote cleaner transportation, the Adani Group is developing hydrogen fuel cell battery-operated trucks equipped with smart technology for cargo transport in collaboration with an Indian and international energy technology firm and a major auto manufacturer, according to a statement issued by the company.
