The Indo-German workshop on innovative charging technology for heavy duty vehicles (IChargeHDV) was organised on February 18, 2021, by ifeu – Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg GmbH and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi. The workshop co-ordinators were Mr. Sharif Qamar, TERI and Udo Lambrecht, ifeu. It aimed to provide a platform for policy makers, infrastructure developers, research and development institutes, and leading industry players in freight transport technology and rolling stock supply to advance industrial research partnership in catenary truck technology, which is of interest for both nations. This IGSTC supported joint workshop, intended to enable stakeholders to share on-field experience in the sector, combined with an overview of strategies to support each other in reducing the GHG emissions and pollutants from the freight transport sector. The workshop is one of the few first steps towards enhancing the technological partnership between nations under the ongoing bilateral projects like promotion of transformation to sustainable and climate friendly electro mobility by networking young scientists from India & Germany.
