Indian Navy takes leap into green transport with Indian Oil’s Hydrogen fuel cell bus
Notable because
In October 2023, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) introduced hydrogen-powered buses in Delhi-NCR to evaluate their performance for public fleets. Presently, 15 such buses have covered 300,000 km across Delhi-NCR and Gujarat. The Indian Navy’s collaboration with IOCL to test green hydrogen buses highlights a strategic shift toward sustainability while promoting technological advancement in sectors such as defence. This initiative might even set a new standard for a greener and more innovative approach to defence mobility.
What to look out for in the months ahead
What additional measures might be implemented to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen in public and military fleets? How will improvements in hydrogen production efficiency impact the overall cost and feasibility of hydrogen vehicles?
