Vasudha Foundation India

We are excited to have successfully created a unified platform at our event on ‘Zero Emission Truck (ZET) Transition for Small-to-Medium Fleet Operators in India’, enabling ZET OEMs and digitalisation partners to showcase their solutions to small-to-medium fleet operators. 🚛 There were several presentations from organisations: 🌱EVage Motors presented its offerings, highlighting the advantages for SMF operators, particularly its fast charging capabilities and the use of safe LTO battery cells in its trucks. 🌱Propel Industries Private Limited emphasised the importance of a total cost of ownership (TCO) approach when evaluating ZET offerings. They also showcased their solutions for SMF operators and debunked common myths surrounding ZETs. 🌱fleetx.io introduced its digitalisation modules designed for fleet operators. These modules can integrate existing trucks and ZETs to enhance operational efficiency. Fleetx.io demonstrated why it is a pioneer in this field and explained how SMF operators can easily and cost-effectively adopt digitalisation with minimal investment. All the above presentations emphasised fast-charging, cost-effective fleet strategies, and digital solutions, advancing sustainable trucking across the industry. #SustainableMobility #ZeroEmissionTrucks #FleetInnovation #DigitalTransformation #ZET #EVageMotors #PropelIndustries #Fleetx Jaideep Saraswat | Nikhil Mall | Tushar Katiyar | Varun B R | Bhagya Sri K | Priya Kalia | Swati Bansal

We are honored to share that Shri Mahmood Ahmed, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways - India, led a series of significant launches during the conclave on ‘Zero Emission Truck (ZET) Transition for Small-to-Medium Fleet Operators in India,’ today in collaboration between Vasudha Foundation and ALL INDIA MOTOR TRANSPORT CONGRESS (AIMTC). Shri Mahmood Ahmed emphasised “the need to strike a balance in the road transport sector through effective regulations. Additionally, the ministry is exploring the adoption of BSVII standards to promote cleaner transportation. Notably, he advocated for a multi-faceted approach to sustainable transportation, highlighting the benefits of a ‘bouquet of options’ including hydrogen, ethanol, and battery electric solutions, rather than relying on a single solution for the trucking sector.”  At the event, we unveiled key reports: 🚛‘Supporting Small-to-Medium Fleet Operators in India to Adopt ZETs: A Model Roadmap with Just Transition Principles’  Read the full Report here: https://lnkd.in/g7CbAvmS 🌿Organisation-specific Zero Emission Truck (ZET) Transition Roadmap These reports collectively aim to accelerate India’s shift toward zero-emission freight transport, offering actionable insights and frameworks for a greener future.

Read our latest ‘White Paper - The Case for AgriPV Implementation in Uttar Pradesh’, which outlines the numerous benefits of adopting AgriPV systems in the state. This innovative approach combines solar power generation with agriculture, enhancing land productivity, conserving biodiversity, and strengthening climate resilience. AgriPV offers a range of advantages to agriculture, including reduced solar irradiation to limit evapotranspiration, hail protection, and improved microclimates. The white paper draws on key insights from existing AgriPV installations, gathered through site visits and discussions with farmers, owners, and other stakeholders. It also explores how these findings, combined with other factors, demonstrate the value of AgriPV for Uttar Pradesh. In addition, Vasudha Foundation is conducting a comprehensive AgriPV potential assessment using satellite imagery, plant phenology data, and localised agricultural data from the state. This report will be available soon—stay tuned for more updates!
