Commercial road transport accounts for over 60% of freight emissions in India. Driven by corporate Scope 3 sustainability targets and volatile diesel prices, Indian logistics operators are rapidly adopting electric and LNG commercial vehicles.
The Root Problem: Volatile Diesel Prices & Scope 3 Carbon Penalties
Fluctuating diesel tariffs squeeze profit margins for manufacturers, while enterprise buyers increasingly mandate zero-emission freight options from their logistics partners.
Traditional diesel fleets face increasing urban emission restrictions and higher operational costs on long-haul corridors.
High fuel expenditures directly erode business profitability while raising corporate carbon footprints.
Solution 1: Electric Light Commercial Vehicles (e-LCVs) for Urban Distribution
Electric 14ft and 3-ton feeder trucks are transforming city logistics, offering silent operation, zero tailpipe emissions, and 40% lower maintenance expenses on intra-city routes.
Electric feeder fleets cut urban delivery costs and eliminate city emissions.
Solution 2: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Long-Haul 22ft Containers
LNG-powered heavy commercial trucks provide a 1,000km driving range and slash fuel operating expenses by up to 20% on long-haul interstate expressways.
LNG offers long-range clean fuel capability for interstate container trailers.
Solution 3: Aerodynamic Trailer Fairings & Eco-Driving Telematics
VayuLogistic equips long-haul container trailers with side fairings and telematics speed limiters that optimize highway fuel efficiency by an extra 8%.
Aerodynamic enhancements reduce drag and cut fuel burn on high-speed expressways.
Enterprise Client Cuts Scope 3 Carbon Emissions by 22% with LNG Fleet
A major consumer goods brand transitioned 50% of its interstate container shipments to VayuLogistic's LNG-powered 22ft container truck fleet, cutting Scope 3 supply chain carbon emissions by 22% and reducing annual freight costs by ₹14 Lakhs.
- ✓Deploy electric e-LCV trucks for intra-city feeder logistics to lower urban distribution costs.
- ✓Utilize LNG commercial containers on 500km+ highway corridors to save 20% in fuel expenses.
