Pune-headquartered alternative fuel commercial vehicles manufacturer Blue Energy Motors has delivered LNG-powered heavy-duty trucks to Inland World Logistics.

These LNG-powered trucks are claimed to offer 30 percent lower CO2 emissions and thus not only contribute to lower tailpipe emissions but also lower operational costs.

With this, Blue Energy Motors has over 800 LNG trucks plying on Indian highways, which have enabled over 50 million kilometres. This translates to almost 14,000 tonnes of CO2 reduction.

Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO, Blue Energy Motors, said, “We are proud to lead India’s clean trucking revolution and partner with visionary companies like Inland who share our commitment to sustainable growth. Our trucks offer a powerful alternative to diesel, with significantly reduced emissions and a lower total cost of ownership. This reflects our commitment to enable cleaner mobility at scale—fleet by fleet, region by region.” 

Praveen Somani, Managing Director, Inland World Logistics, said, “We believe that the future of logistics lies in green mobility, and transitioning to LNG is a crucial step in that direction. Blue Energy Motors stood out for us - not just for their product innovation, but for their clear commitment to making sustainable trucking viable and accessible. These trucks align with our vision of reducing our carbon footprint while ensuring efficiency and performance on long hauls.”

In a significant move to capture Punjab's growing electric vehicle market, Japanese EV manufacturer Terra Motors has launched its flagship high-speed L5 electric auto showroom in Amritsar. The new facility, established in partnership with local dealer AP Motor & Finance, provides a full sales and service experience, allowing customers to explore, test ride, and purchase Terra's latest models.

The brand's reputation for reliable performance and strong value, built over a decade in the three-wheeler sector, was evident in the overwhelming response to the inauguration. The dealer partnership was secured due to competitive margins, rising consumer demand for EV financing and Terra's proven track record as a top-selling e-rickshaw manufacturer in India. This entry into Amritsar represents a key milestone in Terra Motors' national growth strategy, following recent launches in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, as it aims for a tenfold expansion in the coming years.

The flagship Kyoro+ model is central to this expansion, promoted as a compelling choice for drivers seeking higher earnings. It boasts a segment-leading range of 200 km per charge, a robust build, a five-year warranty, and an attractive starting on-road price of INR 366,000, supported by a low down payment financing scheme.

U Power, an AI-powered solutions company, is expanding its proprietary UOTTA electric vehicle (EV) battery-swapping technology with a new strategic partnership with SAIC HONGYAN Automotive Co., Ltd (SAIC Hongyan) and UNEX EV, a new energy and technology company.

The partnership will see the deployment of battery-swapping compatible electric heavy trucks in Thailand and explore similar expansion opportunities in additional markets.

As per the understanding, the partners will deploy 3,000 electric heavy-duty tractors for long-haul transportation and 1,200 electric heavy-duty port-specific short-distance trucks in Thailand. In addition, all parties have agreed to explore the expansion of this partnership into additional markets, including the broader Southeast Asia, Latin America, Europe, Hong Kong and Macau.

U Power will lead the development and manufacture of compatible battery-swapping stations as well as provide related operational services. UNEX EV will be responsible for the adaption of SAIC Hongyan heavy trucks into battery swapping-enabled vehicles, developing of compatible battery modules, as well as promoting the sales of the heavy trucks in Thailand. SAIC Hongyan will supply heavy truck prototypes and provide the necessary technical support to ensure full compatibility between these adapted truck models and U Power's smart battery-swapping stations.

Pitak Pruittisarikorn, CEO, UNEX EV, said, "We are excited to deepen our collaboration with U Power and SAIC Hongyan to bring cutting-edge, battery-swapping compatible heavy-duty EV solutions to Thailand's commercial transportation sector. This strategic partnership reflects our shared commitment to accelerating the global shift toward zero-emission logistics. By combining our deep local market insight and a global ecosystem of clean mobility technologies, we aim to pave the way for a scalable and sustainable heavy truck electrification model, not just for Thailand, but also for emerging logistics hubs across Southeast Asia and beyond."

Xiong, General Manager of Overseas Sales at SAIC Hongyan, said, "Partnering with U Power and UNEX EV allows SAIC Hongyan to bring our robust heavy truck platforms into a new era of electrification and intelligent mobility. Through compatibility with battery-swapping technology, we aim to deliver operational flexibility and enhanced efficiency to fleet operators in Thailand's long-haul and port logistics industries. We look forward to jointly creating a benchmark for green, intelligent heavy-duty transport that can be replicated across more regions globally."

Johnny Lee, CEO and Chairman, U Power, said, "We are pleased to expand our strategic partnership and scope of collaboration with SAIC and UNEX EV, two of U Power's key allies in the development and manufacturing of battery-swapping compatible vehicles. Together, we identified a growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions within Thailand's logistic industry. We believe our combined expertise positions us well to capitalize on this opportunity, enhance our presence in the Thailand market and further drive growth as we continue to build a battery-swapping ecosystem here. In July, we launched Southeast Asia's first operational smart battery-swapping station on Phuket Island, Thailand. Earlier, in April 2025, in collaboration with UNEX EV and SAIC CP-MG, we successfully delivered the first batch of swappable electric vehicles for taxi and ride-hailing services on the island. We look forward to extending our collaboration in more regional markets."
