Blue Energy Motors launches India’s first LNG-fuelled green truck

Blue Energy Motors, a zero-emission truck technology  company headquartered in Pune, has recently launched  India’s first heavy-duty LNG truck pioneering the green trucking revolution.  They have also entered into a strategic tie-up with FPT Industrial, the global powertrain brand of Iveco Group (MI: IVG).

The strategic partnership with FPT Industrial will be a significant development for Blue Energy Motors, whose values are rooted in finding solutions to decarbonise the environment. The company, which launched India’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuelled green truck at its recently inaugurated plant in Chakan, Pune, on September 12, is pioneering the technology for alternative fuels. It has been  maintained that EVs will be one of the sustainable solutions to  reduce pollution caused by the commercial vehicle sector. With this partnership in place, Blue Energy
Motors will be able to fulfil its target of decarbonising the heavy transport sector in India, equipped with FPT’s technology and R&D development.

The market entry of Blue Energy Motors LNG-fuelled trucks started with the  introduction of the 5528 4×2 truck by Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, in the presence of Gerrit Marx, CEO of Iveco Group, Sylvain Blaise, President of Iveco Group’s Powertrain  Business Unit, and His Excellency, Vincenzo de Luca, Ambassador of Italy to India on September 12. FPT Industrial is already providing its LNG engines for Blue  Energy Motors’ trucks.

FPT is set to acquire a minority stake in the company as part of the agreement. While the association is currently focusing on natural gas fuel applications,  the two companies, with a strategic agreement in place, will closely work on future technology deployments in the electrification of heavy-duty trucks.

With this move, Blue Energy Motors will be able to bolster its position as a disruptor in the alternate energy-fuelled vehicle space, pioneering a green revolution in the Indian trucking sector. They will also leverage FPT Industrial’s wide global network and automotive  expertise to bring cutting-edge solutions to Indian customers while decarbonising the transport sector in the future. ‘

Speaking about this, Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, said, “This is a momentous milestone for Blue Energy Motors. Strengthening our partnership with FPT Industrial will enable  us to continue the company’s development and pioneer clean energy solutions, including LNG and Electric, in the upcoming  year. The investment demonstrates the full support of FPT Industrial to the growth of Blue Energy Motors in its ambitious plan to play a key role in India’s decarbonisation transition. ”

“This development in our partnership is further evidence of FPT Industrial’s commitment to advancing innovative technologies for sustainable mobility. We aim to provide transport solutions that  llow customers worldwide to run their businesses efficiently and profitably while respecting the environment. We are happy and proud to be able to do this with our valued partner, Blue Energy Motors, in such an important country as India, “said Sylvain Blaise, President Powertrain Business Unit, Iveco Group.”
