GFEI partner the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has undertaken new analysis on the light commercial fleet in India. This includes both mini trucks and pickup trucks which are used as “last-mile” connectivity to move goods to their final destination.

The paper creates a baseline of fuel consumption to help regulators develop an effective CO2 standard.
