Date: 24 Apr 2025
GreenLine
Mobility Solutions Ltd., an Essar venture and India’s only green logistics
operator of LNG and electric-powered heavy commercial trucks, has partnered
with Bekaert, a global leader in tire reinforcement technology, to decarbonise
road logistics and support India's vision of a gas-based economy.
The
partnership was flagged off with the deployment of GreenLine’s LNG-powered
trucks at Bekaert’s Ranjangaon Plant, marking the beginning of a pilot phase
that aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of Bekaert’s logistics
operations.
Each
GreenLine LNG truck is expected to reduce up to 24 tonnes of CO2 emissions
annually, contributing to Bekaert’s ambition of becoming carbon net-zero by
2050 and achieving 65% of sales from sustainable solutions.
Commenting
on the partnership, Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd said,
“Our partnership with Bekaert demonstrates the growing commitment of
forward-thinking corporates to drive sustainability at scale. At GreenLine, we
are proud to offer not just green trucks, but an integrated ecosystem — from
LNG refuelling to real-time telematics — that empowers our partners to make
meaningful progress on their net-zero goals.”
Dinesh
Mukhedkar, Procurement Operations Lead - South Asia and Procurement Global
Shared Service Centre Lead, Bekaert, added, “As part of our purpose
‘Establishing the new possible,’ and our ambition to lead in safe, smart, and
sustainable solutions, decarbonising logistics is an essential step. This directly
supports our commitment to ESG principles and long-term sustainability goals.”
GreenLine’s
expanding fleet of LNG-powered trucks has already clocked more than 40 million
kilometres, avoiding over 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The company’s ongoing
expansion includes plans to deploy over 10,000 LNG and EV trucks, supported by
a nationwide network of 100 LNG refuelling stations, EV charging hubs, and
battery swapping facilities — targeting a reduction of 1 million tonnes of
carbon emissions annually.
