TVS Vehicle Mobility Solutions (TVS VMS), part of the TVS Mobility Group, has tied up with Montra Electric's medium and heavy commercial vehicles arm, the company said on Friday. This marks TVS's first entry into electric trucking after over seven decades of running fossil fuel-based trucks. Under the first phase, TVS VMS will deploy Montra Electric's Rhino eHCVs on a primary logistics route in Chhattisgarh, covering a 190 km lead distance with three dedicated charging stations. The firms aim to deploy over 300 electric trucks by the end of the current financial year, the release added. The project is expected to cut carbon emissions by reducing diesel use and lowering operating costs for freight customers. TVS VMS said this supports India's net-zero carbon goals.
