LNG and electric truck manufacturer Blue Energy Motors (BEM) on Friday announced a partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to jointly establish battery-swapping stations at HPCL’s fuel retail outlets across select markets.
HPCL, one of India’s largest state-owned oil and gas companies, operates over 24,400 fuel retail outlets nationwide, along with more than 5,400 electric vehicle charging stations under its HP e-Charge brand.
Under the agreement, the Pune-based manufacturer will leverage HPCL’s extensive fuel station network to deploy battery-swapping infrastructure for electric heavy-duty commercial vehicles, enabling convenient and accessible energy touchpoints for fleet operators and supporting faster adoption of electric trucking solutions.
