Blue Energy Motors bags green truck contract from Concor

In a pioneering move towards sustainable transportation, Blue Energy Motors, India's first green truck manufacturer, announced winning a groundbreaking order from Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) for the supply of 100 LNG-powered trucks. This development is a powerful testament to Blue Energy Motors' pivotal role in steering the Green Trucking Revolution in the country.

A Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) is India's leading containerized multimodal logistics services company. It significantly develops multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure to support India's growing domestic and international trade. CONCOR is making strides in its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization of its operations by deploying Blue Energy Motors LNG-powered fleet of trucks at its strategic hubs to facilitate containers' first and last-mile movement. This partnership showcases the growing importance of sustainable logistics in India and represents CONCOR's commitment to cut hazardous emissions by aligning itself with the government's larger climate change goals.

Commenting on the development, Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, stated, "This is a significant step towards providing momentum to India's green trucking revolution with our cutting-edge LNG-powered heavy-duty long-haul trucks. Our state-of-the-art LNG trucks will help CONCOR establish a more sustainable and environmentally conscious transportation ecosystem. Our green trucks are poised to lead up to a 30 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions within the CONCOR fleet while delivering higher productivity and lower total cost of ownership. With this development, we envision to catalyse a paradigm shift in the logistics sector to inspire other players to embrace greener alternatives."

Blue Energy Motors' BE 5528+LNG trucks offer an innovative and effective solution to the pressing challenges of climate change. The BE 5528+ tractor was introduced as the first model, marking the beginning of Blue Energy Motor's entry into the green energy-fuelled heavy-duty truck industry. The trucks feature unmatched performance, a cutting-edge telematics system, and an ergonomically designed cabin for secure, comfortable long-distance travel with best-in-class TCO. The BE 5528+ uses FPT Industrial's (IVECO Group) multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine for best-in-class fuel efficiency and quieter operation than diesel engines. It is the best natural gas vehicle available on the Indian market, with 280 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. The truck has the first 990-lt cryogenic LNG tank in its class, giving it an up to 1400 km range on a single fill. Given this long-range, range anxiety problems are well-cared for, and with the upcoming LNG dispensing network, adequate coverage across essential routes in the nation will be available without frequent refilling.

Blue Energy Motors, a zero-emission truck technology start-up, is disrupting the heavy-duty trucking industry by creating a clean alternative to decarbonise the environment by providing an immediate solution and breaking the barriers of economic returns. This development underscores the potential of such initiatives to drive positive change in the logistics industry and contribute to India's broader efforts to combat climate change.
