Blue Energy Motors' initial product, the BE 5528+LNG tractor, marked the company's entry into the green energy-fueled heavy-duty truck business.

LNG-powered trucks have gained substantial attention due to their reduced emissions profile compared to traditional diesel-powered counterparts. By choosing LNG trucks, CONCOR is aligning with its sustainability goals while simultaneously benefiting from potential cost savings in the long run.

In a groundbreaking development for the sustainable transportation sector, Blue Energy Motors has emerged triumphant by clinching a substantial contract with CONCOR. The company has been awarded an impressive order for 100 LNG (liquefied natural gas) trucks, marking a significant stride toward greener and more eco-friendly freight transportation.

Blue Energy Motors has announced that it has received an order for 100 LNG-powered trucks from Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR). CONCOR, a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, is one of India's top containerised multimodal logistics service providers, and it contributes to the development of multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure to serve India's expanding domestic and international trade.

Blue Energy Motors' initial product, the BE 5528+LNG tractor, marked the company's entry into the green energy-fueled heavy-duty truck business. The BE 5528+LNG trucks, according to the business, have top-notch performance, a cutting-edge telematics system, and an ergonomically built interior for secure, comfortable long-distance travel with best-in-class TCO.

The BE 5528+ employs a multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine from FPT Industrial (IVECO Group) for best-in-class fuel efficiency and quieter operation than diesel engines. Blue Energy Motors is owned by FPT Industrial in a minority share.

With 280 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque, Blue Energy claims it is "the best natural gas vehicle available on the Indian market." The truck has the class's first 990-litre cryogenic LNG tank, allowing it to go up to 1,400 kilometers on a single fill.

With this lengthy travel range and the forthcoming LNG dispensing network, Blue Energy Motors claims that adequate coverage across critical routes in India would be available without regular refills.

Blue Energy Motors, renowned for its innovative solutions in the electric and alternative fuel vehicle space, has once again demonstrated its commitment to revolutionizing the logistics industry.

The 100 LNG-truck order from CONCOR not only underscores the increasing demand for environmentally responsible transportation but also showcases the industry's trust in Blue Energy Motors' cutting-edge technology and expertise.

LNG-powered trucks have gained substantial attention due to their reduced emissions profile compared to traditional diesel-powered counterparts. By choosing LNG trucks, CONCOR is aligning with its sustainability goals while simultaneously benefiting from potential cost savings in the long run.

Blue Energy Motors' LNG trucks are equipped with advanced fuel efficiency systems and emission control mechanisms, ensuring a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of CONCOR's operations.

Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, said, ”With our cutting-edge LNG-powered heavy-duty long-haul trucks, we are taking a big step toward accelerating India's green trucking revolution. Our cutting-edge LNG trucks will assist CONCOR in creating a more sustainable and ecologically sensitive transportation ecosystem. Our green trucks have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 30% within the CONCOR fleet while increasing productivity and lowering total cost of ownership. We hope that this development will catalyze a paradigm shift in the logistics industry, inspiring other firms to explore greener solutions.”

As concerns about climate change and environmental impact continue to mount, collaborations like the one between Blue Energy Motors and CONCOR exemplify the potential for positive change within the transportation sector.

This order not only boosts the companies involved but also inspires others to adopt greener alternatives, ultimately fostering a healthier planet for generations to come.
