Blue Energy Motors green trucks surpasses 50 million kms on Indian highways
The trucks saving overall 14,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of over 5,60,000 trees.
Green-energy heavy-duty truck maker Blue Energy Motors has reached a remarkable milestone by surpassing 50 million kms on the Indian highways saving 14,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions since the deployment of its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-powered green trucks. This achievement is equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of over 5,60,000 trees, underscoring the company’s pivotal role in decarbonizing India’s commercial transportation sector.
Blue Energy Motors says that the milestone aligns seamlessly with India’s commitment to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2070. The transport sector, particularly commercial vehicles, accounts for a disproportionate share of carbon emissions. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, commercial vehicles contribute nearly 40% of CO2 emissions in road transport while comprising only 4% of the total vehicle fleet. These figures highlight the urgent need for sustainable alternatives like LNG and EV, which have emerged as game-changers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO-Blue Energy Motors, stated, ” At Blue Energy Motors, we are not only redefining freight mobility with alternate fuel solutions but also building a comprehensive ecosystem of sustainable commercial vehicles for the future. We remain steadfast in our vision of a cleaner, greener tomorrow leading the shift toward sustainable mobility in India and beyond.”
LNG-powered trucks offer a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to diesel vehicles, cutting CO2 emissions by up to 30% while significantly reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. When deployed in suitable long-haul applications, these benefits amplify, making LNG technology a cornerstone of India’s green logistics transition. Blue Energy Motors’ trucks are already facilitating a shift toward cleaner logistics, helping fleet owners reduce emissions and operational costs.
In addition to its leadership in LNG-powered vehicles for long haul operations, as part of its strategy Blue Energy Motors is slated to launch its electric heavy-duty trucks for short haul operations, further strengthening its commitment to carbon reduction and innovation. This dual focus on LNG and EV technologies positions Blue Energy Motors at the forefront of India’s green transportation revolution, addressing both immediate and long-term sustainability challenges.
Recently the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Maharashtra to accelerate the adoption of clean and sustainable transportation in the state.
