UltraTech Cement Limited is taking a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint by scaling up the use of electric vehicles (EV trucks) in its logistics operations. The company has signed a new transport service contract to deploy around 100 electric vehicles for the transportation of 75,000 MT of clinker per month from its integrated cement manufacturing unit in Madhya Pradesh to its grinding unit in Maharashtra, a distance of approximately 400 km. This move makes UltraTech the first cement company in India to deploy electric trucks at this scale for such a long lead distance. The company estimates that the use of electric trucks will help reduce transport emissions by 17,000 MT of CO2 annually.
