GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd partners with Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd (KFIL) to introduce electric trucks into the logistics sector.
The collaboration was flagged off with a ceremony at Kirloskar Ferrous’ plant in Taloja, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra with the introduction of the electric trucks. This will continue to bring electric vehicle usage within the industrial supply chain and show how businesses are keen to look at alternative fuels.
Moving towards low emission freight transport:
GreenLine are actively deploying electric trucks into the major freight routes across India. The company utilises LNG powered HCVs and are increasing the number of electric trucks deployed.
“At GreenLine, we are focused on advancing lower-emission freight transportation through solutions suited to different logistics requirements. LNG continues to play an important role in our approach to decarbonising long-haul transportation, while electric trucks offer opportunities in applications suited to electric mobility. Our partnership with Kirloskar Ferrous marks a further step in expanding our electric truck deployments and working with businesses to integrate cleaner transportation solutions into their supply chains.”
The KFIL leadership team also spoke about how using electric transport provides benefits.
“Electrifying inter-plant logistics is where sustainability meets operational excellence, driving higher efficiency, lower costs and a cleaner future.”
Increasing electric mobility:
GreenLine currently operate over 1200 LNG and electric powered HCVs across various industries including steel, cement, mining, FMCG and chemicals.
Their fleet have travelled over 100 million kilometres cumulatively. This has helped customers save over 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
The company continue to grow their low emission freight transport by using alternative fuels. They utilise LNG powered trucks for longer distance freight but are also deploying electric vehicles.
This new collaboration with Kirloskar Ferrous means they will be using electric mobility within another industry. This shows how electric trucks are becoming a key part of helping manufacturers look at cleaner goods transport.
