Delhi’s Pollution Problem Might Have a Surprising Fix

Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world, with vehicles responsible for nearly half of its air pollution. But instead of replacing millions of cars and trucks, a new approach is gaining attention: converting existing vehicles into electric ones. At workshops near the Indian capital, old diesel trucks are being retrofitted with electric powertrains — extending their lifespan while cutting emissions and costs. The process is faster and significantly cheaper than buying new electric vehicles. But can retrofitting scale fast enough to make a real impact? And could this approach offer a blueprint for other megacities struggling with pollution and the cost of electrification? 0:00 — The Missing Piece?
