Earth 100, a Gurgaon-based supply chain solutions provider to companies looking to reduce carbon footprint by using greener fuels, is launching its first fleet of 100 per cent bio fuel cars in Gurgaon. Earth 100 is the first company to provide a commercial fleet running on bio-diesel. The firm is currently supported by Jindal Power as an investor, while Mahindra plays a critical role as technology partner.
 
Megha Rathee, COO of Earth-100, said, “We have had successful pilot projects in Bangalore, Mumbai and are confident that the cars introduced in the first phase will be very well accepted. The Jindal Group has been extremely supportive and request for more such eco-friendly cars from their offices in Delhi, Sonepat and Gurgaon have already come in. Acceptability and demand for such green vehicles has also gone up and clients are willing to pay a premium for green services now. We plan to start operations in Bangalore and Mumbai soon creating new benchmarks in the carbon footprint reduction space.”
 
Since 2008, Earth-100 has been setting up a dependable supply chain and has a signed order book of 50 cars.
