Blue Energy Motors launches electric heavy-duty truck
Blue Energy Motors (BEM) has announced the launch of its electric heavy-duty truck equipped with battery swapping technology. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis unveiled the truck at BEM’s facility at Chakan, Pune.
The CM also inaugurated India’s first electric corridor from Mumbai–Pune. This corridor is the first step in the plan to electrify all major national highway corridors over the next three years. It marks a significant milestone in building a cleaner, more efficient freight ecosystem and advancing India’s Net Zero Goal.
Keeping in mind the strong demand for EV trucks, BEM had signed a MoU with the Maharashtra government to set up a new facility with a capacity of 30,000 trucks, backed by an investment of ₹3,500 crore.
Speaking at the launch, the CM says, “This launch showcases Maharashtra’s leadership in sustainable innovation. Blue Energy Motors’ Made-in-India electric truck with battery swapping technology, along with the Mumbai–Pune corridor, India’s first highway to go electric aligns seamlessly with the nation’s vision for Atmanirbhar Bharat and for a greener, self-reliant future. I applaud their efforts in advancing both environmental sustainability and industrial growth.”
Anirudh Bhuwalka, Founder and Managing Director, Blue Energy Motors, says, “We believe that this is the beginning of the EV revolution in India for heavy-duty trucks. Our electric truck delivers unlimited range through battery swapping, highest payload in its category and Advanced Mobility Intelligence for fleet reliability. The Mumbai–Pune corridor is the first step in building a nationwide network of sustainable logistics, driving India’s green freight future forward. With our Energy-as-a-Service model, we’re redefining fleet economics offering reduced upfront capital cost, lowest TCO with highest payload, minimal charging downtime and making it well-to-wheel green with renewable energy.”
Anshuman Ruia, Director, Essar, added, “This launch marks a milestone in India’s decarbonisation journey. It reinforces our commitment to advancing green mobility through cleaner energy, advanced technology, and sustainable infrastructure driving a shift toward a low-carbon, efficient, and resilient economy.”
Built for Indian conditions, the new electric heavy-duty truck builds on BEM’s proven innovation and commitment to sustainable mobility, following the success of its LNG-powered fleet.
With this launch, Blue Energy Motors takes a significant step toward transforming India’s freight sector, combining advanced technology, infrastructure, and innovation to deliver cleaner, efficient, and future-ready transport solutions.
