This initiative will also help strike a balance between environmental protection and industrial development, the CM said.
The truck has been made with Indian and international technical partnership, and hydrogen will be used to power it, an official said.
Hydrogen fuel cell battery-powered trucks are being developed for cargo transportation, the official said. Each truck will be equipped with three hydrogen tanks and can carry up to 40 tonnes of cargo for a distance of 200 km.
This clean energy-powered truck is the product of a joint initiative by the Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Limited and Adani Natural Resources, said officials.
Vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells have the same distance and load-carrying capacity as diesel trucks. But instead of smoke, they emit only water vapour and hot air and make very little noise. PTI COR NR
