Features
With over 20 million kilometers covered by its fleet of LNG trucks, Blue Energy Motors has significantly reduced emissions, cutting down over 5000 tonnes of CO2. The company entered the LNG-fuelled truck market in September 2022 with the BE 5528+ tractor model. This truck has successfully reduced the logistics carbon footprints in sectors such as cement and steel. The BE 5528+ is equipped with FPT multipoint stoichiometric combustion engine technology, offering class-leading Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and quieter operation compared to conventional fuel-powered trucks.
With a powerful performance of 280 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque, the BE 5528+ is one of the most robust LNG trucks in the Indian market. It features a 990L fuel tank, the first of its kind in the industry, providing a range of up to 1400 kilometers on a single fill, which ensures adequate coverage across key routes as the LNG dispensing network gets expanded. The driver's cab is spacious and designed for comfort, with an air-suspended seat and automatic climate control, making long-distance drives more comfortable.
Tech and capacity
The truck's performance parameters are continuously monitored using AI and ML-enabled proprietary telematics, ensuring high productivity. This is supported by Blue Energy Motors' network of service touchpoints. The company boasts a 10,000-truck installed capacity, which can be further expanded as market demand increases, positioning Blue Energy Motors as a significant player in clean energy heavy-duty trucking.
