India's GreenLine Mobility to Deploy 25 LNG Trucks for Flipkart

04 Dec 2024 CW Team

Indian logistics company GreenLine Mobility Solutions announced that it would supply e-commerce giant Flipkart with liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks, marking a significant step toward the increased adoption of cleaner-burning fuel in the country.

GreenLine, which is part of the Essar Group, spanning sectors from retail to mining, revealed that it would deploy 25 LNG-powered trucks to Walmart-owned Flipkart. Flipkart, which already has a fleet of approximately 10,000 electric vehicles, will utilize these trucks to transport goods from west to north India, with plans for the partnership to expand to additional routes.

GreenLine, which currently operates around 500 LNG-powered trucks, has placed orders for over 2,000 more. Its clients include major companies such as Reliance, TVS Motor Co., and Tata Steel.

India, one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters, is working towards transitioning to LNG trucks and aims to convert about one-third of its 7 million heavy trucks to LNG within the next five to seven years. Currently, the country has 645 LNG-powered trucks.

Last month, Blue Energy Motors, India's first manufacturer of LNG trucks, stated that it plans to raise $100 million by January to fund its capacity expansion.
