GreenLine Logistics, India's first and only LNG-fueled heavy trucking logistics company, has entered into an LNG supply agreement with Baidyanath LNG Private Limited. Leading cement producers presently use GreenLine Logistics' LNG fleet for the inbound and outbound transportation of both raw materials and finished goods. By March 2024, the company intends to use 1,600 LNG vehicles.
These state-of-the-art LNG trucks, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors, reduce CO2 emissions by 28 per cent, translating to emission reduction of 24 ton CO2 per truck per annum, compared to conventional diesel trucks. Over GreenLine's planned fleet of 1,600 LNG trucks by March 2024, this adds up to a significant reduction of 38,400 ton CO2 per year. BLNG is building a network of LNG refueling stations on key trucking routes
across the strategically placed Vidarbha district of Maharashtra. Commenting on the association, Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine Logistics, said, "We are pleased to enter into this arrangement with BLNG for LNG supply for our heavy trucking fleets, enabling rapid scale-up of our operating routes for faster decarbonisation of heavy trucking in the region.
"As the preferred partner of many leading corporates for lower emission trucking, we are investing heavily to enable this transition. Given the higher order of magnitude of a range of toxic emissions from heavy trucking, it is crucial for corporates to focus on reducing emissions from this aspect of their business operations."
The CEO of BLNG, Vaddadi Subbarao, commented on this initiative and said, "We are happy to enter into this agreement with GreenLine Logistics in order to advance the initiatives taken by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, to promote LNG as an automobile fuel for clean Nagpur and Vidarbha. This arrangement gives us more motivation to complete our goal of building an extensive network of these LNG stations throughout the Vidarbha district. We're excited to support GreenLine's goal of decarbonizing heavy trucks by providing a steady supply of LNG along its main trucking routes."
GreenLine Logistics is on a mission to decarbonise heavy trucking in India and is paving the way for widespread adoption of LNG fueled long haul trucks by showcasing its immense advantages for corporates. GreenLine has collaborated with multiple organisations to establish the country's first and only complete green logistics ecosystem. to make LNG trucking a reality in India.
