Analyzing Green Transportation: What it is and what you can expect

An Introduction to Green Transportation 

Green transportation refers to transportation options that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Typically, they reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help cut down on air pollution. Green transportation comes in many forms. It includes vehicles that run on LNG, natural gas, electricity, and more.

The Importance of Eco-Friendly Transportation? 

It would not be wrong to say that logistics have become synonymous with excessive pollution. Traditional logistics (largely dominated by diesel) have gained disrepute for their adverse impact on the environment. The NITI Aayog report brought out the terrifying fact that, if left unchecked, road logistics would be responsible for nearly 800 million CO2 metric tons of emissions by the year 2050. In fact, road logistics contributes to nearly 14% of total greenhouse gas emissions. All these statistics have forced corporate India to take a hard look at their operations and look for more eco-friendly transportation options. 

It is not just corporate India that is looking for sustainable transportation; the government of India has also started taking steps to promote ecofriendly transportation. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has suggested banning diesel passenger vehicles by the year 2027. Recent reports also say that the government has banned BS-III petrol and BS-IV vehicles in Gurugram and Faridabad to combat the high levels of air pollution. Not just that, sources suggest that the government is planning to set up multiple storage facilities for LNG in all the major ports in the country. The suggested facilities would provide LNG refuelling options and help cater to the increasing demand for green transportation in India. All of this suggests that sustainable transportation is the future. 

LNG: The Preferred Solution for Sustainability 

Blue Energy Motors is at the forefront of sustainability in India. We are the only truck company in India to manufacture state-of-the art LNG-powered trucks. LNG stands for liquefied natural gas. When natural gas is cooled to - 162 degrees Celsius, it creates LNG. The cooling of natural gas comes with a significant advantage. It shrinks the volume of the gas by almost 600 times and ensures that it can be stored and transported easily. This makes LNG one of the easiest and safest transport fuels in the world. LNG is also the cleanest burning fossil fuel in the world. 

As India’s only green truck manufacturer, Blue Energy Motors has been successful in leveraging the eco-friendly characteristics of LNG and has helped many companies cut down on their greenhouse gas emissions. We have partnered with many leading names in the business including Dalmia Bharat, JK Lakshmi Cement, UltraTech Cement, Nestle India, and more. All these Fortune 500 titans have benefited from our sustainable trucks and have been able to cut their environmental footprints substantially. Our clients have made a 30% reduction in their CO2 emissions. We also help cut down on other greenhouse gas emissions like particulate matter emissions, nitrogen oxide emissions, and carbon monoxide emissions. One of our key characteristics is that we negate sulphur oxide emissions completely while also reducing sound pollution by 30%. 

The Champions of Change 

Our impact is not just restricted to the environment. We are also committed to improving the lives of the unsung heroes of long-haul trucking—the drivers. Blue Energy Motors has taken every measure possible to make drivers feel comfortable while charting long distances. All our trucks are equipped with fully air-conditioned cabins. Our trucks also come with predictive analytics, which reduces truck breakdowns by up to 75%. Not only does this save time, but it also gives our drivers confidence. 

Our cutting-edge trucks also come with many other exciting technological features, like driver state behaviour monitoring, which provides real-time data regarding driver speed, fatigue, acceleration, and braking. 

All in all, it would not be wrong to say that green trucking is here to stay, and we at Blue Energy Motors are excited to drive the change to a cleaner and healthier future for generations to come.
