Blue Energy Motors reduces 10,000 Tonnes of CO2 emissions with LNG trucks

Blue Energy Motors has announced a significant milestone in its sustainability efforts, achieving a reduction of 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-powered trucks. This development underscores the company’s role in promoting cleaner logistics within India’s commercial transportation sector.  

The emissions reduction, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of approximately 400,000 mature trees, highlights the environmental benefits of LNG as an alternative fuel. This milestone aligns with India’s long-term goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. Commercial vehicles contribute nearly 40% of road transport CO2 emissions despite accounting for only 4% of the total vehicle fleet, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable alternatives.  

Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, highlighted the achievement as a step toward sustainable mobility. “This milestone demonstrates the potential of LNG technology in reducing emissions and operational costs while contributing to greener logistics. We are also exploring other alternate fuel technologies, including electric vehicles, to further strengthen our commitment to sustainability in the transportation sector,” he said.  

LNG-powered trucks are a cleaner alternative to diesel vehicles, capable of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 30% while significantly cutting particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. These benefits are especially impactful for long-haul operations, where the technology supports environmental goals and offers cost savings for fleet owners.  

In addition to its LNG advancements, Blue Energy Motors is investing in electric vehicle (EV) solutions tailored to commercial applications. This dual approach of integrating LNG and EV technologies places the company at the forefront of India’s transition to sustainable transportation.  

India’s logistics sector, projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% to reach $380 billion by 2025, requires rapid adoption of environmentally friendly technologies. LNG trucks offer immediate benefits for long-haul operations, while ongoing EV developments promise to eliminate tailpipe emissions entirely.
