Iveco Group’s powertrains specialist arm FPT Industrial has joined hands with Pune-headquartered clean energy truck manufacturer Blue Energy Motors to deploy the first LNG trucks on Indian roads.
 
These LNG trucks, powered by FPT N67 NG BSVI-compliant engines, are expected to run on the country’s roads by the end of the year.
 
Blue Energy Motors is a Zero Emission truck technology company and aiming for LNG truck production in partnerships with world-class suppliers such as FPT Industrial.
 
Both companies share the same belief that LNG trucks are a sustainable option for the market.
 
The Italian company said in a statement that “this agreement is the first step in a potential long-term partnership, based on the specific characteristics of the Indian commercial transport market.”
 
Commenting on the partnership, Sylvain Blaise, President of Iveco Group Powertrain Business Unit, said “we are pleased and proud that Blue Energy Motors has chosen us for this major evolution in Indian commercial transport.”
 
“This agreement is of the utmost importance for FPT Industrial, now and in the future, as we want our leading technologies to play a key role to support the ecological transition of one of the world’s largest vehicle markets,” Blaise added.
 
“We believe that the fight against climate change is fundamental for the future of all of us, and Blue Energy aims to be part of this climate initiative and believes in innovation driven sustainability,” commented Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors.
 
Bhuwalka further said “we are working to deliver a zero-tailpipe-emissions transport solution, and to do so we need all the experience and expertise of the world’s leading producer of low-emission engines: FPT Industrial. In India, Governments, fleet owners, and other stakeholders are demanding near-zero-emissions solutions, and with FPT Industrial’s NG engines we can deliver this solution now.”
 
The company claimed that the FPT N67 NG BSVI-compliant engines will deliver the very high torque needed in India for transport industry applications. The CNG, LNG and biomethane compatible engine, the N67 NG, uses stoichiometric combustion to assure best-in-class fuel consumption and lower noise than diesel engines, with up to 40 per cent fuel expense reduction versus diesel equivalents in the Indian market and 28 per cent less CO2 emissions.
