New Delhi: A 10-year exemption from Delhi's "No Entry" timing restrictions will be provided to the first 1,000 electric N2 category trucks registered under the city's new Electric Vehicle Policy, in a move aimed at accelerating the shift to cleaner commercial transport.
According to the policy, the incentive will be available to the first 1,000 N2 electric trucks purchased within three months of the notification.
The exemption means these vehicles will be allowed to operate even during hours when the entry of goods vehicles is restricted due to traffic management measures, major events or pollution-control curbs.
N2 category vehicles are medium-duty goods carriers with a gross vehicle weight ranging from 3.5 tonnes to 12 tonnes, commonly used for transporting commercial goods, industrial supplies, construction material and other cargo within the city and to nearby areas.
