JK Lakshmi Cement Ties-Up with Greenline Logistics
JK Lakshmi Cement has tied up with GreenLine to decarbonize its road logistics operations in a phased manner over the next few years. Starting with a fleet of 10 LNG trucks plying on the Sirohi (Rajasthan) – Surat (Gujarat) route, the companies plan to scale this up substantially over the next two years. Each LNG truck reduces ~35 tons CO2 emissions per year. Arun Shukla, President & Director, of JK Lakshmi Cement, said, “Deploying LNG trucks is our first step towards sustainable transportation. This green trucking initiative of GreenLine Logistics will act as a game-changer for the country’s cement transportation industry and help facilitate the eventual transition towards a more circular economy.” Anand Mimani, the CEO, GreenLine, said, “As leading companies emphasize on their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance, reducing emissions from their heavy trucking logistics becomes key.” Heavy trucking emits ~10-12% of the total emissions. The shift to LNG-fueled trucks will reduce toxic emissions of CO2 by 28%, CO by up to 70%, NOx by upto 59%, SOx by upto 100%, and particulate matter by up to 91%. The adoption of LNG trucks will also aid in reducing noise pollution by up to 30%.
