EV Deployment Guidelines
Smart Freight Centre has released the EV Deployment Guidelines, a comprehensive resource co-developed with Maersk to guide fleet owners through the electrification of trucking operations. This marks a pivotal step in accelerating the global shift to eTrucking, which goes far beyond emissions cuts - it's a fundamental transformation of logistics business models, infrastructure, and strategies.
EV Deployment Guidelines - Tools and Templates
These MVP (Minimum Viable Product) decision support tools, contributed by Maersk and tailored to complement the EV Deployment Guidelines, deliver practical templates and frameworks based on their real-world fleet and vendor logic to help companies plan, implement, pilot, and scale electric trucking operations effectively.
Institutionalizing Freight Emissions Accounting in India
This whitepaper proposes a nationally harmonized approach to institutionalizing freight emissions accounting in India, aligned with ISO 14083:20233 and the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework and adapted using India-specific emission factors. Drawing on the collaborative work undertaken by Smart Freight Centre (SFC) India, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bangalore, this paper outlines a practical roadmap to operationalize a Clean Freight Program for India, proposed to be anchored under Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) / Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) with multi-stakeholder governance and a digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) framework.
