VECV targets 70% renewable energy use by FY27
VE Commercial Vehicles ( VECV ), the parent company of Eicher Trucks and Buses , marked World Environment Day by reaffirming its commitment to India's Net Zero targets. The company announced a series of measures aligned with sustainable manufacturing and cleaner mobility. VECV said its new range of zero-emission commercial vehicles under the Pro Planet Pro Business banner is already operational across India. These include alternate fuel solutions based on LNG, CNG and electric powertrains. The recently launched EV-first Eicher Pro X small truck is targeted at mid- and last-mile delivery applications. Electric buses from Eicher have been in operation since 2022 in multiple Indian states. Sustainability in manufacturing The company's Bhopal plant, which began operations in 2020, is built on Industry 4.0 principles and features AI-powered real-time energy monitoring. It also has an all-women final assembly line for the Eicher Pro X, which the company says is a first in the commercial vehicle industry. VECV aims to achieve 70% renewable energy usage in plant operations by FY27 and become water positive by 2030. As part of this initiative, a new water body with a capacity of 52 million litres has been created at the Bhopal facility, reportedly enough to sustain the plant's operations for four months. The company has also switched to 100% LED lighting across its sites, replacing around 5,000 conventional fixtures. As a result, energy intensity has reduced from 3.85 GJ/MINR in FY23 to 3.74 GJ/MINR in FY24. Vinod Aggarwal, MD and CEO, VECV, said, 'In line with India's Net Zero vision defined by Honourable Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi ji, VECV is committed to delivering future-ready mobility solutions—from electric, LNG and CNG trucks and buses to emerging technologies like hydrogen and fuel cells—as the market matures.' He added that the company's investments in smart manufacturing, renewable energy and responsible resource management reflect a broader commitment to sustainable growth. VECV says its ongoing initiatives support multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to clean water, affordable clean energy, responsible consumption and climate action.
