Blue Energy Motors rolled out its 100th truck from its smart manufacturing facility in Pune. The company’s LNG trucks are sustainable and emit lesser greenhouse gases.
Blue Energy Motors, the Zero Emission truck technology company crossed another significant milestone with the rollout of its 100th truck from its smart manufacturing facility in Pune. This is a major step towards sustainability as each BEM LNG trucks emit lesser greenhouse gases as compared to diesel-powered trucks. With Blue Energy Motors ramping up production, the heavy-duty trucking industry has an economically viable option available to immediately decarbonise the sector and contribute positively towards climate change.
The roll-out celebration was conducted in Pune at the Chakan facility in the presence of company’s CEO Anirudh Bhuwalka and other senior leadership team of Blue Energy Motors.
Bhuwalka said at the occasion, “No longer should sustainability be an option, but rather a way of life. Our trucks were conceptualised and built with the conditions and demands of the Indian duty cycles in mind. They are the most effective immediate viable solution for the pollution issue that the heavy-duty truck industry produces. We are sure that we will motivate more participants in the logistics ecosystem to embrace sustainable mobility and join the green trucking revolution.”
BE 5528+ tractor was introduced in the market as the first model in November 22, marking the beginning of Blue Energy Motor's entry into the LNG-fuelled truck industry. Since its introduction BE 5528+ has successfully lowered the logistics carbon footprints of the cement and steel sectors. The truck uses FPT multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine technology and delivers best-in-class TCO and quieter operation than conventional fuel-powered trucks. With 280 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque, it is the most powerful liquefied natural gas truck available for the Indian market.
The truck has the industry’s first 990l fuel tank which provides a range of upto 1400 km in single fill, ensuring adequate coverage across important routes of the nation as the LNG dispensing network is coming up. Spacious driver cab of BE5528+ equipped with air suspended seat and automatic climate control offers a refreshing environment to the driver, making long hauls a comfortable drive. The truck parameters are continuously monitored with state-of-the-art AI and ML enabled proprietary telematics to ensure class-leading productivity, supported by BEM own network touch points.

The partnership between the companies further strengthens the LNG trucks’ application in India and will focus on jointly developing the next-generation heavy-duty Electric (BEV) truck platform in the coming future.
With the 10,000-truck installed capacity, which can be expanded further as the market develops and demand increases; Blue Energy Motors has established itself as a market disruptor in the clean energy heavy duty trucking space.
