MoU signed to launch fleet of LNG trucks

JK Lakshmi Cement has announced a partnership with GreenLine Logistics to roll out the first fleet of LNG (liquified natural gas) trucks in the country. The initiative, which aims to decarbonize the company’s road logistics operations, will start with a fleet of 10 LNG trucks running on the Sirohi (Rajasthan) to Surat (Gujarat) route, with plans to scale up over the next two years. Each LNG truck is expected to reduce around 35 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The move is part of JK Lakshmi Cement’s efforts to reduce its carbon emissions and improve its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. GreenLine Logistics is a pioneer in green and smart logistics in India, working to become the country’s largest green road logistics company and provide emissions reduction in heavy trucking for ESG-conscious businesses. The adoption of LNG trucks is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 28%, CO by up to 70%, NOx by up to 59%, SOx by up to 100%, and particulate matter by up to 91%. It will also help reduce noise pollution by up to 30%. GreenLine has created an integrated green logistics ecosystem in India to accelerate the adoption of LNG heavy commercial vehicles and promote green trucking in the country.
