Pune: Blue Energy Motors (BEM) has launched an electric heavy-duty truck with battery swapping technology, announcing it at its 10,000 capacity Chakan facility in Pune. The truck was unveiled by Maharashtra\u2019s Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, who also inaugurated India\u2019s first electric corridor from Mumbai to Pune. BEM has signed an MoU with the Maharashtra government to set up a new facility with a capacity of 30,000 trucks, backed by an investment of Rs 3,500 crore.
