Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (DCBL) has launched its e-Truck initiative in India in a bid to lower carbon emissions and optimise the company’s overall logistics cost. A new EV truck fleet has been brought in to transport slag, a major raw material for cement manufacturing, from the facility of Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) at Rourkela to its cement manufacturing unit in Rajgangpur.
This move will lead to considerable reduction in CO2 emissions from diesel trucks thereby making cement manufacturing and its transport a sustainable activity.
DCBL has put two of the proposed 22 high capacity electric trucks into action as part of the first phase of planning.
The remaining balance 20 will hit the roads before the end of FY22.
IPL Tech, an Indian manufacturer of high capacity trucks, has been commissioned by DCBL to provide the first-of-its-kind EVs. The company has also commissioned two charging stations
at its Rajgangpur unit and three more charging stations will be installed by March, 2022.
