In a milestone for green transport, Adani Group has unveiled India's first hydrogen fuel-powered truck for mining logistics, establishing a new benchmark in the adoption of clean energy in the industry. The trailblazing truck was flagged off from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and will revolutionize cargo transportation in mining activities.

Important Points:

First-of-its-Kind Innovation: Adani Enterprises, along with top Indian and global energy technology companies and a large automobile maker, has designed a hydrogen fuel cell truck specifically for mining transportation.
Impressive Capabilities: The truck features intelligent technology and three hydrogen tanks, allowing it to transport as much as 40 tonnes of freight over a 200-kilometre distance-equaling the capabilities of traditional diesel trucks.
Sustainability Milestone: The hydrogen-powered truck will initially transport coal from the Gare Pelma III Block to a state power plant, gradually replacing diesel vehicles in Adani’s logistics operations and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Green Mission Leadership: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, who flagged off the truck, highlighted the state’s commitment to sustainable practices and its role as a leader in India’s green transition.
Strategic Partnership: The project is a collaborative effort of Adani Natural Resources and Adani New Industries Limited, utilizing in-house knowledge in green hydrogen, renewable energy, and high-end manufacturing.
Wider Ripples: The project aligns with the vision of Adani Group to decarbonize mining, decrease India's crude oil imports, and catalyze similar hydrogen technology adoption at ports, airports, and industrial logistics.
