Bombay Logistics Deploys Blue Energy Motors’ LNG Trucks for JSW Steel Operations in Karnataka

Bombay Logistics has deployed Blue Energy Motors’ LNG heavy-duty trucks for JSW Steel operations in Toranagallu, Karnataka, marking an expansion of LNG-based freight transportation in industrial logistics. The company cited fuel efficiency, vehicle performance and operational support as factors in the deployment.

Blue Energy Motors said it currently has more than 1,400 trucks operating across freight routes in India and has crossed 100 million green kilometres. The company also claims that its vehicles have helped reduce more than 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.The deployment adds to Blue Energy Motors’ operations across industrial and freight applications and expands the use of LNG-powered heavy-duty trucks in commercial logistics.

Thimmaraj Kakarla, Managing Partner, Bombay Logistics, said, “For us, the move to LNG is about finding a practical solution that works on the road and makes commercial sense. The performance and fuel efficiency of the Blue Energy Motors trucks were important considerations, while the Blue Energy Motors team’s support throughout the deployment, from vehicle handover and route planning to on-ground assistance, made the transition seamless. As these trucks begin operations for JSW Steel, we see this as a meaningful step towards improving operating efficiency while reducing the carbon footprint of our freight movement.”

Anand Mimani, CEO, EV & New Energy, Blue Energy Motors, said, “We are pleased to support Bombay Logistics in deploying our LNG trucks for demanding industrial operations. For us, the priority is simple: deliver the performance and reliability the customer needs while making the shift to cleaner freight practical.”
