Washington: India has the potential to become the world leader in electric vehicles production, a research by Berkeley National Laboratory and UCLA said, underlining that making the transition from diesel-fuelled trucks to electric-charged will enable the country to meet the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070.
India imports 88 per cent of the oil it uses and of the total petroleum consumed by the country’s transport sector, nearly 60 per cent used by freight trucks.
