“The introduction of LNG-powered trucks at our Vadodara facility is a first step towards exploring more responsible mobility solutions within our logistics operations. As we continue on this journey, we will look at opportunities to adopt solutions that brings saving and balance environmental considerations with the efficiency and reliability of our supply chain.” Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries Limited
“The transition to lower-emission logistics requires practical solutions that can be integrated into existing supply chains without compromising operational efficiency. Our LNG-powered fleet offers businesses an opportunity to take a meaningful step towards greener road freight, and we are proud to support Greenply in this journey.” Madhur Taneja, CEO, GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd
Greenply Industries Limited has announced its partnership with GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd, a leading green logistics operator driving the decarbonization of the heavy trucking sector in India, to integrate LNG-powered transportation into its outbound logistics operations.
The partnership was formally marked by the flag-off of GreenLine’s LNG-powered trucks at Greenply’s Vadodara manufacturing facility, marking a step forward in the company’s efforts to build a more sustainable logistics ecosystem. As part of the partnership, Greenply will leverage GreenLine’s green logistics network to transport products from its Vadodara facility to destinations across its distribution network. The initiative will support the integration of cleaner mobility solutions into Greenply’s freight operations.
The initiative brings an alternative-fuel option into Greenply’s cost-effective and sustainable logistics operations, extending the company’s sustainability focus to the transportation and movement of materials. The move comes at a time when alternative fuels are gaining greater relevance in India’s commercial transportation ecosystem. LNG-powered vehicles can offer a lower-emission alternative to conventional diesel-based transportation, depending on vehicle configuration, fuel quality and operating conditions.
GreenLine’s LNG powered trucks reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 40%, SOx by up to 100%, NOx by up to 59%, particulate matter by up to 91% and CO by up to 70%, making them a lower-emission alternative for India’s long-haul freight sector.
For Greenply, the adoption of LNG-powered trucks is part of a broader approach to embedding responsible practices across its value chain. While manufacturing remains a key area of focus, the company is also looking at how sustainability considerations can be incorporated into associated activities such as logistics and distribution.
Commenting on the association, Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries Limited, said, “At Greenply, we believe that sustainability is not limited to what happens within our manufacturing facilities. It also extends to how our products and materials move through the value chain. The introduction of LNG-powered trucks at our Vadodara facility is a first step towards exploring more responsible mobility solutions within our logistics operations. As we continue on this journey, we will look at opportunities to adopt solutions that brings saving and balance environmental considerations with the efficiency and reliability of our supply chain.”
Madhur Taneja, CEO, GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd, added, “We are pleased to partner with Greenply in advancing cleaner freight transportation. The transition to lower-emission logistics requires practical solutions that can be integrated into existing supply chains without compromising operational efficiency. Our LNG-powered fleet offers businesses an opportunity to take a meaningful step towards greener road freight, and we are proud to support Greenply in this journey.”
The introduction of LNG-powered trucks also provides Greenply with an opportunity to evaluate the operational feasibility of alternative-fuel transportation within its dispatch network. The company will continue to assess opportunities to incorporate more responsible mobility solutions across its logistics ecosystem, based on operational requirements and learnings from the initiative.
As sustainability increasingly becomes a consideration across the wider supply chain, Greenply’s initiative reflects the growing role of logistics in helping businesses build more responsible operating models, extending sustainability considerations from manufacturing to the movement and distribution of products.
