MUMBAI: GreenLine Mobility Solutions, the Essar Group logistics venture, has put electric trucks into service for Kirloskar Ferrous Industries, with trucks flagged off at its plant in Taloja, Navi Mumbai. The deployment shifts goods movements at the Maharashtra site onto battery power and widens the operator’s e-truck business into another industrial setting.
Neither side disclosed truck numbers, routes or contract terms. GreenLine runs more than 1,200 heavy trucks powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) or batteries along major Indian freight corridors, serving steel, cement, mining, consumer goods and chemicals customers.
That fleet has logged over 100 million km, and the operator credits it with saving customers more than 30,000 tonnes of CO₂. Kirloskar Ferrous adds another named industrial client as GreenLine builds its electric fleet alongside gas.
In a statement, Madhur Taneja, Chief Executive of GreenLine Mobility Solutions, said: “At GreenLine, we are focused on advancing lower-emission freight transportation through solutions suited to different logistics requirements. LNG continues to play an important role in our approach to decarbonising long-haul transportation, while electric trucks offer opportunities in applications suited to electric mobility. Our partnership with Kirloskar Ferrous marks a further step in expanding our electric truck deployments and working with businesses to integrate cleaner transportation solutions into their supply chains.”
