Facility To Serve Multiple EV Segments
Alongside battery swapping for heavy-duty trucks, the facility incorporates a public EV charging station. The charging infrastructure will serve electric two-wheelers, four-wheelers and commercial vehicles, extending the facility’s role beyond freight transport.
The combination of battery-swapping and charging infrastructure creates a multi-segment EV energy hub within HPCL’s existing retail network.
According Anand Mimani, CEO – EV & New Energy Business at Blue Energy Motors, the partnership with HPCL brings together the company’s strength to build the energy infrastructure needed to support this transition.
“This first facility is a meaningful step forward, and we look forward to expanding our network of battery-swapping and charging facilities across key markets, supporting electric trucking and serving the wider EV ecosystem,” he added.
Blue Energy Motors is developing green freight mobility through its electric and liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered heavy-duty truck solutions.
The company said more than 1,400 of its green heavy-duty trucks are operating across key freight routes in India. Its fleet has covered more than 150 million green kilometres on Indian roads, helping reduce carbon emissions by over 44,000 tonnes.
According to the company, this reduction is equivalent to the carbon absorption of approximately 1.8 million trees.
