UltraTech Cement has launched five electric trucks for clinker transport from Dhar Cement Works in Madhya Pradesh to Dhule Cement Works in Maharashtra. This initiative is complemented by the establishment of three charging stations located at both units and midway, to ensure efficient transportation. By replacing traditional fossil-fuel trucks with electric ones, UltraTech anticipates a reduction of approximately 680 mt in CO2 emissions each year. K C Jhanwar, Managing Director, UltraTech Cement, expressed the company’s dedication to incorporating sustainability throughout its operational chain. He highlighted the electric truck pilot as a crucial advancement in UltraTech’s commitment to promoting sustainable transportation methods. This move aligns with the broader utilisation of CNG and LNG trucks within the company’s logistics operations, marking a pivotal leap towards ‘green mobility.’ UltraTech has set a goal to integrate 500 electric trucks and introduce 1000 CNG/LNG vehicles into its fleet by June 2025, as per the eFAST initiative by the Government of India.
