NextGen Low‑Carbon Trucking Summit: LNG & EV–The Twin Engines of Clean Freight Transition,

11th September 2026 , Hotel Hyatt Regency, Chennai

Introduction:

India’s transportation sector—one of the largest contributors to air pollution—is undergoing a pivotal shift toward cleaner and more economical heavy‑duty logistics. This transition is being accelerated by a rapidly evolving regulatory and market landscape that places sustainability at the centre of corporate strategy for meeting the eventual Net-Zero targets.

To address this important topic Diligentia Advisors is organising the NextGen Low‑Carbon Trucking Summit: LNG & EV–The Twin Engines of Clean Freight Transition, scheduled for 11th September 2026 , Hotel Hyatt Regency, Chennai . Shri JP Misra- Former Chief General Manager-Indian Oil Corporation is the Convener of the Conference.

Regulatory & Market Drivers

The push for low‑carbon trucking in India is shaped by multiple converging forces:

• Mandatory ESG Compliance of SEBI has brought Scope 3 emissions—including logistics—into sharp focus for listed companies.
• Green Procurement Mandates: Large buyers across sectors increasingly require low‑carbon logistics from their supply chains.
• National Logistics Policy (NLP): The NLP emphasises cost‑efficient, low‑emission freight movement as a national priority.
• Global Trade Pressures: Europe’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) incentivises exporters in steel, aluminium, cement, chemicals and other sectors to adopt cleaner logistics to remain competitive.

LNG: The Leading Near‑Term Solution

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has emerged as a globally proven, next‑generation fuel for heavy‑duty trucking. It offers immediate environmental and economic advantages.

India’s LNG ecosystem is expanding rapidly: Leading OEMs—Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Blue Energy Motors, Volvo, and Eicher—are actively developing and deploying LNG trucks.

Significant global investments in LNG liquefaction capacity are expected to create an oversupply scenario, keeping LNG prices competitive and widening the cost advantage over diesel.

EVs and the Long‑Haul Reality

While long‑term policy frameworks strongly support electrification, electric trucks currently find greater acceptance in short‑range and intra‑city logistics.

Why Attend?

The Event will bring industry leaders, policymakers, fleet operators, OEMs, infrastructure developers, and financiers together. Top experts, existing users and policy makers will share insights on the latest trends, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of next‑generation low carbon trucking in India.
