Blue Energy Motors has recorded a major success by reducing emission of CO2 by 10,000 tonnes following the launch of green trucks that use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This achievement reduces carbon equivalent to 400,000 mature trees annually, highlighting the firm’s impact on lowering India’s commercial transportation industry’s carbon footprint. Commercial transport accounts for 40 per cent of CO2 emissions in road transport, despite comprising only 4 per cent of the fleet.
Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, highlighted saving 10,000 tonnes of CO2 as proof of their commitment to sustainable trucking. They are transforming logistics with alternate fuel trucks and setting benchmarks for green technologies to reduce carbon footprints and support clean energy solutions.
LNG: A cleaner alternative to diesel
LNG as a fuel for trucks is a much more environmentally friendly solution than diesel; it reduces CO2 emissions by up to 30 per cent and also reduces particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emissions. These features are compounded when employed in appropriate long-haul applications and contribute towards India’s LNG technology-based green logistics change.
Investing in future sustainability technologies
Blue Energy Motors is also investing in other technologies such as electric vehicles (EV) to address both immediate and long-term sustainability challenges. Today, India’s logistics sector is expected to grow annually at a CAGR of 8 per cent and touch USD 380 billion this year. Furthermore, the company will be able to generate substantial impacts on India’s environmental sustainability agenda especially on the logistics decarbonisation of long-distance transport.
