Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has commenced delivery of its next-generation, green-fuel powered commercial vehicles to Tata Steel. The fleet includes Prima tractors, tippers and the Ultra EV bus, powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and battery electric technologies.

The vehicles were flagged off by Tata Sons’ chairman, N Chandrasekaran, as part of the Tata Group’s Founder’s Day celebrations on March 3 in Jamshedpur. Present at the ceremony were T V Narendran, CEO and MD, Tata Steel and Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors, along with senior members of their leadership teams.

Engineered for a variety of applications, the Tata Prima LNG range of trucks including tippers (3530.K) and tractors (5530.S) will be used for surface, mining, and long-haul commercial transportation. As part of the accelerated adoption of battery-electric range, 28T EV tipper (E28.K) and 46T EV tractor (E46.S) are being deployed for establishing real-world performance, as part of Tata Steel’s logistic movement. In addition to the zero-emission trucks, the company will also start using Tata Ultra EV buses for employee transport, across plant locations.

The Tata Motors new-age commercial vehicles come equipped with multiple safety features including Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), Electronic Stability Control, Active Traction Control and Driver Monitoring System, amongst others. The vehicles were handed over to Tata Steel’s delivery partners for transporting steel products and raw materials.

Environmental benefits of Tata Motors' eco-friendly vehicles

Tata Motors' eco-friendly vehicles offer a plethora of environmental benefits that align perfectly with Tata Steel's green initiatives. By opting for these sustainable vehicles, companies can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.

One key environmental benefit of using Tata Motors' eco-friendly vehicles is the reduction in harmful emissions. These vehicles are designed to be more fuel-efficient and emit lower levels of pollutants compared to traditional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. This reduction in emissions helps in improving air quality and mitigating the impact of transportation on climate change.

Moreover, Tata Motors' eco-friendly vehicles promote the use of alternative fuels such as electricity or biofuels, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This shift towards cleaner energy sources not only helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to energy security and sustainability in the long run.

Additionally, the use of eco-friendly vehicles from Tata Motors can lead to a decrease in noise pollution, as electric vehicles are quieter compared to their gasoline or diesel counterparts. This is especially beneficial in urban areas where noise pollution can have negative effects on public health and well-being.

Overall, by incorporating Tata Motors' eco-friendly vehicles into their fleet, companies like Tata Steel can showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship and set an example for sustainable business practices. Embracing eco-friendly transportation solutions not only benefits the environment but also aligns with corporate social responsibility goals, making it a win-win for both businesses and the planet.
