Summary

The energy and resources institute conducted a study evaluating the significant impact of transitioning from heavy-duty ICE trucks to zero-emission zero emission trucks called ZETs across industrial sectors in India. The research focuses on job displacement rates for specific roles such as engine technicians and maintenance workers when moving away from diesel engines into electric motors. The findings identify key skill gaps, including a shortage of certified battery engineers, technicians, and technicians with battery diagnostics skills. Additionally, the study examines how these technological changes alter the physical demands of the workforce, such as increased energy consumption and the need for more frequent refueling. These insights help industry professionals prepare for the future workforce by highlighting the necessary changes in training requirements and employment policies to ensure smooth transitions and long-term job security for employees. The report is part of the institute's comprehensive outreach efforts to educate stakeholders and guide policy-makers in developing a supportive framework for the electric vehicle transition.
