Technology Assessment of Zero-Emission Trucking on the Delhi-Jaipur Corridor

- By Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India
Date: 8 November, 2023

This report utilizes the Delhi-Jaipur corridor as a potential "lighthouse" corridor to evaluate the cost, viability, and operability of different ZET technologies. It assesses seven different infrastructure technologies – 1) fast chargers, 2) ultra-fast chargers, 3) battery swapping, 4) catenary, 5) dynamic induction, 6) Hydrogen FCET, and 7) Hydrogen ICE. The cost and feasibility of these seven ZET technologies are analyzed for two deployment timeframes: a pilot project involving the deployment of 100 trucks by 2025 and a scaled deployment with 5,500 trucks in operation by 2030. The report ends with a roadmap tailored for decision-makers, providing technology and market-specific considerations, techno-economic analysis, and an operational viability assessment of seven distinct ZET technologies and associated infrastructure.
