lng vs electric vs hydrogen

LNG

  • Longer Range (1000+ km) per fill, apt for Heavy Trucking in India.

  • Lower initial infrastructure costs.

  • Best in class TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

  • Lower emissions .

  • Eliminates battery disposal / recycling challenges.

  • Proven and safe technology.

  • Minimal upskilling needed for staff.

Electric

  • Shorter Range 200-500 km depending on battery size.

  • High, especially for fast-charging stations.

  • Low operating costs but high upfront costs.

  • Zero tailpipe emissions, renewable-dependent.

  • Technology Provenance Emerging for heavy trucks.

  • Renewable-dependent, enhances security.

  • Requires electrical and safety training for staff.

Hydrogen

  • Often reaching around 1,000 km per fill.

  • Very high due to limited stations.

  • High TCO due to expensive tech and fuel.

  • Zero emissions if green hydrogen is used.

  • Limited issues, with fuel cells instead of batteries.

  • Technology Provenance : New in trucking still developing.

  • High potential with local green production.

National Highways for Electric Vehicles (NHEV) is a pilot program adopted by Govt of India; initially supported by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry to upgrade highways into E-Highways. Currently in expansion mode of 5500 km e-highways on Bharatmala & Sagarmala routes from Delhi to Kanyakumari via Mumbai and Kolkata corridors.
