India Launches First Hydrogen Truck for Mining in Chhattisgarh
Imagine a giant truck that runs on hydrogen instead of gas!
India just got its first one.
It can carry as much as a regular truck and travels up to 200 kilometers on a single fill-up.
This truck is special because it doesn't pollute the air like other trucks.
It uses hydrogen and oxygen to make electricity, and the only thing that comes out is water!
This new truck will carry coal to a power plant, and it's part of a bigger effort to use cleaner energy in India.
Other countries already have cars that use the same technology.
Adani Group launched India's first hydrogen-powered truck.
The truck is designed for mining logistics in Chhattisgarh.
It can carry up to 40 tonnes of cargo.
The truck has a range of 200 km on a single refill.
The truck only emits water vapor and warm air.
