AVG Logistics on Saturday said it has partnered with Nestlé India and Ashok Leyland to deploy a dedicated green logistics corridor using 50 compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks, the company said in a regulatory filing on Friday.
The CNG fleet will serve Nestlé India’s supply chain and is expected to cover about 2.75 lakh kilometres every month. AVG Logistics estimates the move will lead to an annual reduction of around 1.1 lakh kg of carbon dioxide emissions.
Operations and supply chain impact
AVG Logistics said that the initiative seeks to improve fuel efficiency and reduce dependence on conventional transport while supporting lower-emission logistics operations. The company said the deployment aligns operational requirements with emission reduction targets across the supply chain.
The company acknowledged the involvement of Nestlé India’s supply chain and physical logistics teams in implementing the corridor, and said Ashok Leyland supported the project through the supply of CNG vehicles.
AVG Logistics said the partnership is expected to support its financial performance by enabling new supply chain solutions and improving operational processes. The company added that it plans to continue adopting fuel-efficient and technology-led logistics models across its network.
