In a bid to move towards more sustainable sources of energy, MG Motor India has partnered with Clean Max Energy Solutions for the supply of 4.85 MW of wind-solar hybrid power to MG’s manufacturing facility in Halol. This makes the SAIC-owned brand the first passenger car company in India to adopt wind-solar hybrid energy. Through this partnership, MG hopes to abate approximately 2 lakh metric tonnes of CO2 over 15 years which is claimed to be equal to planting more than 13 lakh trees.
Talking about the partnership, Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, said, “We have ensured our commitment towards a sustainable future which has encouraged many to adopt zero-emission vehicles and contribute towards protecting the environment. Our association with CleanMax is another step towards developing a clean manufacturing ecosystem. With this move, we hope to enhance our role in building a sustainable environment while also lowering our energy costs."
