Eco-friendly logistics: GreenLine partners with Nestle India to reduce carbon footprint
Mumbai: GreenLine, India’s first and only LNG-fueled heavy trucking logistics company, on Friday, announced the deployment of its LNG-powered containers at Nestle India’s Sanand facility in Gujarat, in line with the multinational corporation’s sustainability goals to reduce the carbon footprint of its logistics operations.
GreenLine has custom created the first-of-its-kind 46-feet-long containers which will be deployed for transporting Maggi noodles from Nestlé’s factory at Sanand, Gujarat, to Bhiwandi, Maharashtra.
In line with Nestle’s carbon emissions reduction goals, the adoption of GreenLine’s larger 55MT, 46-feet-long containers replaces smaller diesel-powered 20 MT vehicles, which results in a substantial reduction in vehicle requirements. This, combined with the emissions reduction achieved by utilizing LNG-powered containers, contributes to Nestle’s green mission and enhances its ESG performance, said Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine, in a statement.
Commenting on this initiative, Sanjay Khajuria, Director, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Nestlé India, said, the company is committed to net zero emissions and sustainable logistics and deploying different modes of transportation using alternate fuel and using bigger vehicles to optimize vehicle capacity utilization.
Building on its achievements in green logistics for cement and steel, GreenLine is now introducing the superior capabilities of LNG-powered containers to revolutionize transportation in consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and express cargo sectors.
