In Early September, Blue Energy Motors Opened India’s First Factory to Produce Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Trucks in Chakan, Pune (India) and They Are the First Trucks to Be Powered by FPT Industrial’s Sustainable Engines for the Purpose of Decarbonization
The new factory, inaugurated by Road Transport and Highways Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari, is an important milestone following the agreement signed in Turin in July 2022 by FPT Industrial, the global powertrain brand of the IVECO Group, and Blue Energy Motors (Italy). The project was presented by Gerrit Marx, CEO of the IVECO Group, and Sylvain Blaise, President of the IVECO Group’s Powertrain Division, at an official ceremony organized by the Italian ambassador to India, Vincenzo De Luca, on September 12. They provided details on an agreement between FPT Industrial and Blue Energy Motors that supports the introduction of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks with FPT Industrial’s 6.7-liter engines that will provide a significant initiative for decarbonization by the end of 2022.
Blue Energy Motors is a zero-emission truck technology company dedicated to building clean energy trucks, and its vision for LNG truck production includes partnerships with world-class suppliers, such as FPT Industrial. Both parties are committed to decarbonization and believe firmly that LNG-powered trucks are a sustainable option for the market.
