Blue Energy Motors was the first company in India to manufacture LNG trucks.

Zero-emission truck manufacturing company, Blue Energy Motors announced saving 7,500 tons of CO2 emissions since deploying its LNG-powered trucks, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of 300,000 mature trees over one year.

Blue Energy’s achievement supports government of India's LNG mission to promote cleaner fuel alternatives in the transport sector. The company manufactures LNG trucks, which emit up to 30% less CO2 and reduce harmful particulate matter, sulfur oxides, and noise.

Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors said crossing 7,500 tons of CO2 savings is a testament to their commitment to sustainable transportation solutions. He added that the company will continue to invest in innovative clean energy technologies that drive the industry towards a greener future.

Blue Energy Motors has steadily expanded its LNG truck fleet, providing the logistics industry with a sustainable transport option. The company’s trucks, which are specifically designed for long-haul transportation, help in reducing pollution and supporting cleaner logistics operations of Fortune 500 companies across India.

The government's LNG mission aims to promote LNG as a cleaner fuel alternative, particularly to reduce the reliance on diesel, which has been a major source of pollution. LNG is seen as a viable solution due to its ability to lower carbon emissions and improve air quality by significantly reducing harmful particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Blue Energy Motors was the first company in India to manufacture LNG trucks. 

The Bharat Stage norms are the primary regulatory framework for controlling emissions from motor vehicles in India. As of October 1, 2020, India implemented BS VI norms for all new heavy-duty vehicles, which significantly reduced permissible levels of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO).
