Blue Energy Motors Introduces LNG-Fuelled Green Truck: 5528 4x2
With an aim to disrupt the heavy-duty trucking industry, Blue Energy Motors has launched its Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) fuelled green truck at its recently inaugurated plant in Chakan, Pune.
With a keen focus on developing LNG as an alternate fuel, the company says that their heavy-duty and long-haul trucks powered by LNG are set to pioneer the green trucking revolution in India.
The market entry of the LNG-fuelled trucks is starting with the introduction of the 5528 4x2 truck as the first model.
The Blue Energy Motor’s 5528 truck uses FPT Industrial multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine to ensure best-in-class fuel consumption and lower noise than diesel engines. With 280hp power and 1000Nm torque, it is one of the most powerful natural gas trucks on the Indian market and is compatible with CNG, LNG, and biomethane.
The 5528 4x2 truck has the industry’s first 1000-lt fuel tank which provides range of up to 1400 km in a single fill. Given this long-range, issues pertaining to range anxiety are well taken care of and with the upcoming LNG dispensing network, sufficient coverage across key routes in the country will be available without the need for frequent refilling.
The company has installed capacity to produce 10,000 trucks / annum which can be augmented further as the eco system mature and demand ramps up.
