Need to read vehicular emissions right in NCR

Research shows both type-approval and pollution testing for vehicles fall short in the real world, as does the adoption of CNG as a transition fuel.

For clean air, Delhi must electrify its truck fleet

One way to stimulate that demand is to convert government fleets to electric. In February of last year, the Delhi government mandated that its entire hired car fleet switch to electric and a similar approach can be adopted for freight vehicles

The ARAI and TERI study also found that trucks accounted for almost a third of PM2.5 emissions from transport in Delhi. Two-wheelers and three-wheelers accounted for 26% and 18% of PM2.5 emissions, respectively. Therefore, cleaner trucks are key to a cleaner vehicle fleet in Delhi. (SAKIB ALI/HT)
