Under the terms of the MoU, which will be further detailed in definitive agreements, the creation of the LNG fleet aims to support the development of the LNG station network across strategic locations in Central India. This initiative is expected to expedite the overall supply-side ecosystem development, enabling the long-haul transport segment to adopt cleaner fuels.
Vinod Aggarwal, Managing Director and CEO of VECV, expressed optimism about the move."As LNG becomes a crucial fuel for clean long-haul transportation, Eicher is actively working with partners to deliver state-of-the-art vehicles backed by superior technology. We wish Baidyanath LNG the very best on the inauguration of their latest LNG dispensing facility. This will further encourage transporters across Maharashtra to consider LNG vehicles as a viable and sustainable alternative."
