Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has signed a file stating that all trucks must have AC cabins from 2025
Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari declared that air-conditioned (AC) cabins will be compulsory for all trucks from 2025. The decision came as a relief to drivers who had to spend nearly 11-12 hours on the road in hot and short cabins.
Working Conditions and long hours are the main contributors to driver fatigue and accidents. While prominent foreign truck manufacturers such as Volvo and Scania currently equip their high-end trucks with AC cabins, despite years of consideration, many Indian manufacturers have yet to follow this practice. Minister Gadkari's approval of the idea is accompanied by an 18-month transition period, giving the industry enough time to complete the necessary changes.
