Govt, Truck Makers Dispute Fuel Efficiency Testing Tool

Govt, Truck Makers Dispute Fuel Efficiency Testing Tool

The Indian government and truck makers are arguing about how to test how fuel-efficient trucks are.

The government wants to use the current method, but truck companies want to use a new tool called Bharat Vecto that's still being made.

Bharat Vecto would test trucks in a way that's more like how they're used on real roads.

The government is worried this new tool won't be ready in time and could delay important rules about how much fuel trucks can use.

The final decision will be made by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
