GreenLine Mobility is expanding its partnership with Tata Steel by deploying LNG-powered heavy trucks at the Meramandali facility in Odisha. This move aims to reduce carbon emissions in long-haul road logistics, leveraging LNG as a scalable alternative to diesel for heavy freight. GreenLine currently operates over 1,000 LNG and electric trucks, reporting a reduction of 24,000 tonnes of CO2. The company plans to scale to 10,000 vehicles and establish 100 refueling and charging hubs to target a total reduction of 1 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

GreenLine is pushing LNG trucks for Tata Steel to cut long-haul emissions. They claim a 40 percent CO2 reduction over diesel. It is a practical bridge, but the real win depends on where that LNG is sourced.

The 1,200 km range is the main draw here. EVs can't touch that for heavy steel freight yet. My question is about the refueling infrastructure. Building 100 stations is a massive CAPEX project. Do they have the funding locked in or is this a projection?

Maintenance on these LNG engines is a different beast than diesel. I wonder if the local workshops in Odisha are actually equipped to handle these fleets or if GreenLine has to fly in techs for every major service.

Interesting to see the focus on LNG. From a policy side, this usually depends on how the local government classifies LNG versus diesel in emissions reporting. If the accounting is loose, the actual climate impact is lower than the 40 percent figure suggests.
