The electric trucks were flagged off at GDL’s ICD
Garhi Harsaru in Gurugram and will support first- and last-mile connectivity as
part of the company’s container logistics operations.
Samvid Gupta, Joint
Managing Director, Gateway Distriparks Limited, said the company has deployed
electric trailers with the support of Blue Energy Motors and its charging
ecosystem, demonstrating the growing viability of electric vehicles in
container logistics. “Sustainability is an increasingly important priority
across supply chains, and we are committed to adopting solutions that support
our environmental goals while maintaining the reliability and efficiency our
customers expect,” Gupta said. He added that the initiative reflects GDL’s
commitment to building a more sustainable logistics ecosystem while maintaining
operational excellence. Blue Energy
Motors CEO – EV & New Energy Anand Mimani said the adoption of electric
mobility in heavy-duty transportation would depend on solutions that demonstrate
performance, reliability and operational viability in real-world applications.
The company said its electric heavy-duty trucks are
designed for commercial freight applications and feature advanced battery
technology, intelligent vehicle management systems and a service support
ecosystem aimed at meeting the requirements of demanding logistics operations. The
deployment comes amid increasing electrification of India’s freight sector,
with fleet operators exploring cleaner alternatives to conventional diesel-powered
trucks. Blue Energy Motors said its electric heavy-duty trucks have also
operated on the Mumbai–Delhi NCR corridor, demonstrating their potential for
long-distance freight movement. According to the company, more than 1,400 green
heavy-duty trucks are currently operating across key freight routes in India.
These vehicles have collectively covered more than 122 million green kilometres
and helped avoid over 33,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Blue Energy Motors said the emissions
reduction is equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of nearly 1.3 million
trees.
The company is
expanding its portfolio of LNG and electric heavy-duty trucks as demand grows
for lower-emission and more efficient freight transportation solutions in
India.
