Hindustan Zinc partners with GreenLine for the deployment of LNG-Powered trucks for logistics

GreenLine Mobility Solutions, an LNG-powered heavy trucking logistics company, officially deployed its LNG-powered trucks to Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company. 

In its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, Hindustan Zinc has chosen Essar’s green mobility solutions company, GreenLine, as its sustainable logistics partner. 

GreenLine is investing Rs 200 crore to deploy LNG-powered trucks for Hindustan Zinc's road logistics operations. These LNG-powered trucks, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors - India's first venture into heavy-duty LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) trucks, demonstrate impressive reductions in toxic emissions compared to diesel, with cuts of up to 30% in CO2, up to 100% in SOx, up to 59% in NOx, up to 91% in Particulate Matter, and up to 70% in CO.

GreenLine has collaborated with multiple organisations to create India's first and only integrated green logistics ecosystem, the press release noted.

Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc and Executive Director, Vedanta, said, "By introducing LNG vehicles, we are not just showcasing our commitment towards decarbonising Indian mining but also paving the way for a transport revolution. This is yet another step towards our vision of net zero by 2050 or sooner, and we look forward to scaling this up in the coming months." 

Commenting on the deployment, Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine, said “We are excited to have been selected as the sustainable logistics partners for Hindustan Zinc. We eagerly anticipate our role in facilitating the decarbonisation of their heavy freight transportation. Indian corporate leadership is committed to reducing their carbon footprint, and our green logistics solutions are instrumental in advancing their sustainability objectives."
