In a bid to reduce pollution levels in Delhi, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) would soon conduct a study to examine the feasibility of converting government trucks into electric vehicles.

The study is scheduled to begin next week and the recommendations are expected to be submitted in a few months.
 
According to reports, ICCT would study the energy consumption of the government trucks which includes garbage disposal trucks, water tankers, horticulture trucks and try to electrify them with appropriate charging infrastructure and battery.
 
Amit Bhatt, ICCT Managing Director (India) revealed that the data collection method has been finalised. On-board devices would be installed in 10-15 vehicles to capture data related to their mobility profile and energy consumption in several phases.
 
Around 60,000 trucks enter Delhi every day causing a lot of emission; hence, it becomes important to electrify them.
 
Funded by the ClimateWorks Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Energy Foundation, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the ICCT is an independent non-profit organisation providing technical and scientific analysis to environmental regulators.
