Blue Energy Motors Achieves Milestone with 500th Green Fuel Truck

In a significant milestone, Blue Energy Motors, a pioneering company in the green fuel truck sector, has successfully rolled out its 500th truck from its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Pune. This achievement marks a crucial step towards a more sustainable future, as the company’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks emit fewer greenhouse gases compared to traditional diesel trucks.

The milestone event was attended by Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, and the senior leadership team at the Chakan facility in Pune. Bhuwalka expressed his pride in the company’s achievements, stating, “We are immensely proud to celebrate this milestone of rolling out and invoicing our 500th LNG truck. This achievement reflects our commitment to sustainable transportation and innovation while paving the way for the decarbonization of the trucking sector.”

Blue Energy Motors’ fleet of LNG trucks has covered over 20 million kilometers, resulting in a significant reduction of over 5,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The company entered the LNG-fuelled truck market in September 2022 with the BE 5528+ tractor model, which has successfully reduced logistics carbon footprints in sectors such as cement and steel. The BE 5528+ is equipped with FPT multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine technology, offering class-leading Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and quieter operation compared to conventional fuel-powered trucks.

The BE 5528+ boasts a powerful performance of 280 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque, making it one of the most robust LNG trucks in the Indian market. Its 990L fuel tank provides a range of up to 1400 kilometers on a single fill, ensuring adequate coverage across key routes as the LNG dispensing network expands. The driver’s cab is designed for comfort, with an air-suspended seat and automatic climate control, making long-distance drives more comfortable.

The truck’s performance parameters are continuously monitored using AI and ML-enabled proprietary telematics, ensuring high productivity. This is supported by Blue Energy Motors’ network of service touchpoints. The company has a 10,000-truck installed capacity, which can be further expanded as market demand increases, positioning Blue Energy Motors as a significant player in clean energy heavy-duty trucking.

With this milestone, Blue Energy Motors is rapidly increasing its production, providing the heavy-duty trucking industry with an economically viable option to reduce its carbon footprint immediately and contribute positively to climate change. The company’s commitment to sustainable transportation and innovation is paving the way for a cleaner and greener future.
