Blue Energy Motors (BEM), a leading Indian manufacturer of EV and LNG heavy-duty trucks, has surpassed 100 million kilometres of cumulative fleet operations nationwide. Its 1,400+ trucks have helped cut more than 30,000 tonnes of CO? emissions, equivalent to the carbon absorption of nearly 1.2 million trees.

Strategically positioned to support India’s shift towards cleaner freight mobility, BEM combines advanced truck technology with corridor-led charging, battery-swapping infrastructure, and Energy-as-a-Service solutions. LNG trucks offer long-haul ranges of up to 2,400 kilometres, while EVs benefit from rapid battery swaps in under five minutes, maximising uptime and operational efficiency.

Anirudh Bhuwalka, Founder and Managing Director, said, “Crossing 100 million kilometres validates the future of sustainable freight in India. Energy security, operational efficiency, and sustainability are now converging, driving one of the fastest transformations in the country’s trucking sector.”

BEM continues to expand its green trucking ecosystem, integrating technology, service support, and clean fuel solutions to make low-emission heavy-duty transport commercially viable and scalable across India.
