Blue Energy Motors, a leader in clean-energy trucks, has reached a remarkable milestone by saving 10,000 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 4,00,000 mature trees, underscoring the company’s important role in decarbonizing India’s commercial transportation sector.
This milestone aligns seamlessly with India’s commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070. The transportation sector, especially commercial vehicles, is responsible for a disproportionate share of carbon emissions. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, commercial vehicles contribute about 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 EVs, which have emerged as game-changers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Commenting on the achievement, Anirudh Bhuvalka, CEO, Blue Energy Motors said: “Achieving the milestone of saving 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions is a testament to our unwavering commitment to driving sustainable change in the trucking industry. At Blue Energy Motors, we are not only transforming logistics with our alternative fuel trucks; We are setting a benchmark for green innovation and demonstrating the potential of clean energy solutions in decarbonizing logistics operations. Along with our LNG developments, we are actively working on other alternative fuel commercial trucks to offer comprehensive sustainable solutions for the future of mobility. This achievement reinforces our vision of a cleaner, greener future, and we are dedicated to paving the way for sustainable mobility for India and beyond.
LNG-powered trucks provide a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to diesel vehicles, cutting CO2 emissions by up to 30% while significantly reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. These benefits are magnified when deployed in appropriate long-haul applications, making LNG technology a cornerstone of India’s green logistics transition. Blue Energy Motors’ trucks, designed specifically for these operations, are already facilitating the shift toward clean logistics, helping fleet owners reduce emissions and operating costs.
In addition to its leadership in LNG-powered vehicles, Blue Energy Motors is expanding its horizons by investing in other technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs). The company is developing advanced EV solutions for commercial applications, further strengthening its commitment to carbon reduction and innovation. This dual focus on LNG and EV technologies places Blue Energy Motors at the forefront of India’s green transportation revolution, addressing immediate and long-term sustainability challenges.
India’s logistics sector, projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% by this year to reach $380 billion, demands rapid adoption of sustainable technologies. LNG trucks are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap, providing immediate environmental benefits for long-haul operations. Additionally, advances in EV technology, driven by companies like Blue Energy Motors, promise to redefine commercial transportation by completely eliminating tailpipe emissions.
As Blue Energy Motors continues to advance in providing clean energy solutions to the commercial vehicle sector, it is set to contribute significantly to India’s environmental sustainability goals, especially in the important area of long-haul transport decarbonization.
