Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MHCVs), that operate in mid-mile and long-haul sectors, contribute significantly higher emissions when compared to smaller vehicles due to their excessive annual mileage. Furthermore, these vehicles need high payload and volume capacities, making it challenging for batteries to be used, considering the substantial weight and volume of such batteries. In this context, the potential of using Green Hydrogen as a fuel becomes relatively encouraging, considering its lower weight and higher energy density, when compared to batteries. In India, there is an ulterior advantage besides being environmentally friendly, which is to reduce petroleum dependency and conservation of foreign exchange. This is because Green Hydrogen can be produced domestically.
