Tata Motors will trial 16 hydrogen-powered trucks equipped with internal combustion engines (ICE) and fuel cell technologies in India.
Vehicles will operate across the nation’s major freight routes for 24 months, backed by a $23m trial that has been launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The Indian Government selected Tata Motors to deploy two Tata Prima H.55S trucks – one equipped with a hydrogen ICE and the other with a fuel cell – alongside the Tata Prima H.28, an advanced H2ICE truck.
The Indian automotive giant has claimed the vehicles will provide an operational range of 300-500km. The company’s Executive Director, Girish Wagh, said the company has “continuously embraced innovation to develop mobility solutions that contribute to India’s growth and development.”
