India’s Blue Energy nets new LNG truck order from Concor

India’s Blue Energy Motors has secured a new order from state-owned multimodal logistics firm Container Corporation of India (Concor) for LNG-powered trucks.

Blue Energy Motors said on Wednesday the new order is for 50 LNG-powered trucks.

This new order builds on Blue Energy Motors’ successful deployment of more than 125 LNG trucks for Concor.

“With this latest addition, the total fleet will expand to more than 175 LNG trucks, further accelerating the shift toward cleaner transportation solutions,” the company said.

Deliveries for the new batch of 50 trucks are set to start by the end of March 2025, according to the firm.

Blue Energy Motors did not provide any other details regarding the deal.

In April 2023, the firm announced it will supply 100 LNG-powered trucks to Concor.

Concor develops multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure to support India’s growing domestic and international trade.

The company is “making strides in its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization of its operations by deploying Blue Energy Motors LNG-powered fleet of trucks at its strategic hubs to facilitate containers’ first and last-mile movement,” a previous statement said.

Blue Energy launched India’s 100th LNG-powered truck at its manufacturing facility in Pune in 2023.

FPT Industrial, a unit of Italian manufacturer Iveco, is supplying engines for the LNG-powered trucks as part of a deal the two firms signed in July 2022.

After that, the two firms unveiled the first LNG truck powered by FPT’s 6.7-liter engine in September 2022, while Iveco also agreed to buy a stake in the Indian firm.
