Olectra Greentech Limited (OLECTRA) has started the trials of its new 6×4 heavy-duty Electric tipper. The company is expanding its product portfolio into the electric truck segment.
The prototype of the truck is built on a heavy-duty electric tipper platform. It will have a range of 220km and will be the first of its kind in the country.
It is built with a heavy-duty bogie suspension tipper capable of managing gradability of more than 25 percent (scaling slopes on roads with elevation and ghat roads).
Manufacturing of this tipper will begin in Hyderabad soon.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. KV Pradeep, Chairman, and Managing Director said, “Being a pioneer in electric mobility in India, Olectra has now begun heavy-duty tipper trials. This is the first of its kind truck in India. This breakthrough gives us immense pleasure and a moment of pride. As fossil fuel costs are skyrocketing, electric trucks will be a game-changer in the segment. This first-of-its-kind tipper has many super performance features. As the market is looking for cost-effective and highly efficient tippers, the Olectra has finally realised the dream as promised earlier.”
