GreenLine Mobility Solutions (GreenLine), a leading LNG-powered heavy trucking logistics company in the country has deployed its LNG-powered trucks at Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company.
As part of the understanding, GreenLine will invest 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, is said to significantly reduce 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, making LNG trucking a reality in India. LNG-powered vehicles, known for their significantly reduced emissions compared to diesel, perfectly align with the sustainability goals of both the organisations. This partnership paves the way for widespread adoption of LNG-fuelled long-haul trucks by showcasing their immense advantages for corporates and reinforcing the commitment to a sustainable, eco-conscious future.
Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc & Executive Director, Vedanta, said “Sustainability is an integral part of our company’s identity and represents the core commitment of our management and employees. 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”.
Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine said “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.
