Indian renewable energy giant Suzlon has announced an ambitious plan to transition its entire vehicle fleet to electric mobility by 2035, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and climate action. This initiative aligns with Suzlon’s broader goal of powering all its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2030.
EV100 Initiative Participation
Suzlon has become the first Indian renewable energy company to join the global EV100 initiative, which encourages businesses to commit to fully electric fleets. The company plans to electrify 655 vehicles, including both owned and leased vehicles in the 3.5T and 3.5–7.5T categories.
Impact on Sustainability and Emissions
The transition to electric vehicles is expected to significantly reduce Scope 1 emissions, helping Suzlon meet its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets for 2035. The move also complements its ongoing initiatives to improve energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of its operations.
Industry Leadership and Green Mobility
By electrifying its fleet, Suzlon positions itself as a leader in India’s renewable energy sector, setting a benchmark for other companies to adopt sustainable mobility solutions. The company’s EV fleet transition underscores its commitment to climate-friendly business practices and contributes to India’s national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Future Outlook
Suzlon aims to accelerate green mobility adoption across its operations while supporting India’s transition to a low-carbon economy. The company’s efforts are expected to inspire other corporate fleets to explore electric mobility solutions as part of their sustainability strategies.
