When electric scooters and cars first arrived in the country people thought this idea would flop. But today the picture is completely the oppsoite. Because now electric cars and scooters are selling heavily in India and their demand is constantly rising. Now after cars and scooters a major transformation is about to happen in India’s heavy duty transport sector as well. Very soon electric trucks will be seen on the country roads instead of diesel trucks.

High-Tech Electric Truck
Mumbai based electric vehicle company EIM (Energy In Motion) is gearing up to play a big bet in the commercial market. The company is preparing to launch two new heavy duty electric trucks very soon.

Huge Manufacturing Plant
These trucks will be manufactured at the plant located in Pune (Talegaon) Maharashtra. This plant is spread over an area of more than 35000 square meters. Assembling of trucks along with battery pack manufacturing and testing are carried out here. This plant has the capacity to produce 5000 electric trucks annually. Which can be further expanded if needed. Apart from this, inside the plant itself, there is a large battery assembly unit spread over 10,920 square meters, which has an annual capacity of 2.4 GWh—equivalent to preparing approximately 6,000 battery boxes.

Battery and Performance
The biggest highlight of these new electric trucks will be their powerful battery and performance. It will feature a massive 400.5 kWh battery pack. Meanwhile, the most special thing is that the new battery technology used in it is built on CB7T0 Cells from World renowned company CATL. The estimated life of these batteries will be around 7.5 lakh kilometers. 

Will Diesel Trucks Come to an End?
Compared to diesel, running electric trucks per kilometer turns out to be much cheaper. Due to the absence of a gearbox and diesel engine, their servicing cost is next to nothing. Althrough their initial purchase price might be slightly higher than diesel trucks because of low running costs and long battery life they will prove to be a highly profitable deal for transporters.
