Heavy duty vehicles fitted with internal combustion engines have been instrumental in helping human for meeting their economic and social goals. In the pursuit we have put enormous burden on our environment. And now we are facing the challenges to limit and reduce the burden on environment over a period of time. Presently, there are plethora of technology concepts which are worldwide discussed and projected as a sustainable solution for future heavy duty transportation. However, there are number of considerations for a nation like India that needs careful analysis before we adopt a particular transport solution. There is no denying the fact that eventually we have to make heavy duty vehicles fossil and emission free for reducing their impact on environment to minimum. But this would happen over a period of time. Now given the large number of heavy duty vehicles on road and new vehicles that are forecasted to be produced, combustion engines will be around for another two decades. Meeting the goal of net zero GHG emission by 2050 requires number of parallel approaches. Hence, we have to work on various fronts, like related to combustion engines we need to put effort on improving newly developed heavy duty engine efficiencies, improving existing fleet emission, introducing low carbon fuels like natural gas and carbon neutral bio fuels and drop-in fuels. Simultaneously we also have to progress on the long term new developments like electrification of urban transport and hydrogen fuel cell truck for long haul operations. In this regard, we will briefly discuss here the several ways to make transportation in India more environment benign, role and potential of several prospective bio-fuels and various base and advanced engine technologies to improve the carbon footprint of existing and new developed fleet of heavy duty vehicles.
