GreenLine to provide LNG-powered trucks to Hindustan Zinc in India

Mumbai-based logistics company GreenLine will provide LNG-powered trucks to Indian mining company Hindustan Zinc, it said on October 4.

Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, said that the deployment of LNG vehicles aligns with the company's targets to reduce 50% of absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and further reduction of 25% of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2030 from the base year FY2020.

"By introducing LNG vehicles, we are not just showcasing our commitment towards decarbonising Indian mining but also paving the way for a transport revolution. This is yet another step towards our vision of net-zero by 2050 or sooner, and we look forward to scaling this up in the coming months," Misra said.

GreenLine said it will be investing 2bn rupees (approximately $24mn) for deploying LNG-powered trucks for Hindustan Zinc's road logistics operations.

"Clean, green mobility solutions will play a very important role in helping industries achieve their sustainability goals. We are proud to be the chosen sustainable logistics partners of Hindustan Zinc and look forward to enabling decarbonisation of their heavy freight transportation," Anand Mimani, CEO of GreenLine, said.

GreenLine said its LNG-powered trucks, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors, reduce toxic emissions significantly compared to diesel. GreenLine aims to expand its fleet of LNG-fuelled trucks and plans to deploy 1,650 LNG trucks by March 2024, Mimani told GasPathways earlier this year.
