According to an official release, the agreement creates a framework for Montra Electric eHCV (IPL Tech) and EoDB to jointly enable faster decision-making for fleet operators and end customers, leveraging blended climate financing and pre-agreed commercial terms for large-scale electric truck deployments. As part of the partnership, Montra Electric eHCV will also collaborate with NHEV stakeholders for the prototyping of Connected Commercial Vehicle (CCV) protocols, ensuring seamless integration of its trucks with future-ready charging and energy station networks.
Live pilots are planned to begin soon on key highway corridors and high-volume freight routes, as part of NHEV’s Tech Trial IV. These pilots will test electric trucks in real operating conditions, generate operational and commercial data, and provide a replicable model for other fleet operators across India.
On this partnership, Abhijeet Sinha, National Program Director, Ease of Doing Business & NHEV and Principal Advisor- SEPC (Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India) said, “This collaboration is to facilitate IPL Tech with Ease of Doing Business through emerging tech piloting services under the Government of India’s NHEV Pilot. It will cover both technical and commercial aspects for accelerated deployment by empanelling the OEM in the CCV Protocol of the Indian Electric Highways, enabling an advanced Intelligent Transport Management System (ITMS) and facilitating the blended Climate Financing Instrument – AHEM (Annuity Hybrid E-Mobility) for the financing of 1000+ electric trucks.”
Jalaj Gupta, MD Montra Electric (TICM) added, “This partnership is about moving from intent to execution. By working with EoDB, we will lower the barriers to adoption and make electric trucking a practical, profitable choice for transporters and end customers across the country.”
According to the company, this collaboration aims to fast-track the adoption of over 1,000 electric trucks across multiple sectors and routes in India, making clean freight commercially viable at scale.
