Blue Energy Motors announced that it has rolled out its 100th LNG truck from its manufacturing facility in Pune.
The company introduced BE 5528+ tractor as the first model in Nov’22, marking the beginning of entering the LNG-fuelled truck segment. The truck uses FPT multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine technology. The company claims that with 280 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque, it is one of the most powerful LNG trucks available for the Indian market.
Further, the vehicle maker has recently concluded the strategic investment by FPT Industrial, the global powertrain brand of Iveco Group, wherein FPT has acquired a minority stake in the company.
Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO, Blue Energy Motors, said, “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.”
