Blue Energy Motors has launched India’s first Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) fueled green truck manufacturing plant at Chakan, Pune.
The facility was inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister, Road Transport and Highways.
Blue Energy Motors has already signed an agreement with FPT Industrial, the global powertrain brand of Iveco Group, headquartered in Italy, to introduce the first LNG trucks powered by FPT Industrial engines which are BS 6-compliant. The market entry of the LNG-fueled trucks will start with the introduction of the 5528 4×2 tractor as the first model.
Blue Energy Motors trucks have been designed and tested in accordance with the demanding Indian transport industry’s duty cycles. The FPT Industrial engine is compatible with CNG, LNG and biomethane; it uses multipoint stoichiometric combustion to assure best-in-class fuel consumption and lower noise than diesel engines.
