Blue Energy Motors announces a significant milestone on the Journey of Decarbonizing the Commercial Vehicle Industry in India, ahead of the International Day of Clean Energy

Blue Energy Motors, a pioneer in green truck manufacturing, celebrates the International Day of Clean Energy on January 26, coinciding with India’s Republic Day, by highlighting a significant milestone as its fleet of trucks has successfully prevented over 2500 tonnes of CO2 emissions since its inception. This amounts to approximate 30% reduction of emissions from the air, an accomplishment that symbolizes a tangible contribution towards a cleaner environment, reduced carbon footprint, and a sustainable future. 

In India, the logistics sector is the third most CO2 emitting sector, with about 14% share of emissions. Within logistics, heavy trucking contributes to 45% of total CO2 emissions. To address this challenge, zero-emission trucks (LNG or battery-operated) have the potential to cut down at least 2.8-3.8 gigatons of CO2 emissions between present to 2050. Aligned with this idea, Blue Energy Motors’ commitment to decarbonisation has created a significant impact, equivalent to the positive environmental impact of CO2 absorption by 100,000 trees in one year. 

Commenting on this development, Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors said, “Surpassing 2500 tons of CO2 emission reduction by our LNG truck fleet is a milestone that underscores our commitment to decarbonizing the industry and contributing to India’s sustainability targets. This Republic Day, as we embrace the International Day of Clean Energy, our journey symbolizes a green transition, marking a momentous step towards a cleaner, greener future for our nation and the planet. We take this as an opportunity to collectively work towards achieving the goal of sustainability for our environment. By leveraging alternate fuel technologies, we aim to set a transformative example for the industry by preventing emission of over 1mn tons of CO2 in next 5 years, extending our commitment beyond numbers to foster environmental responsibility. As we celebrate this milestone, let it be a call to action for stakeholders this Republic Day to unite in action for a better future.”
