Tata Motors and Amazon India have announced a collaboration to deploy 3,000 Tata Ultra E.7 electric trucks across Amazon's transportation network in India, marking the largest electric truck rollout by an e-commerce company in the country. The initial rollout starts in Delhi during the festive season and will extend along the 2,800-km Delhi-Bengaluru-Chennai freight corridor.
The deployment will involve Tata Motors supplying the electric trucks, while Amazon's carrier partners will own and operate them, combining Amazon's logistics network with Tata's engineering, manufacturing, and service expertise.
The program aims to reduce transportation emissions and promote freight electrification in India by integrating zero-exhaust-emission trucks at scale.
Delhi's 2026 EV Policy incentivizes early adoption by allowing the first 1,000 medium-duty electric trucks registered within three months of the policy launch unrestricted city access for ten years.
The trucks feature an integrated e-axle, CCS2 fast charging, regenerative braking, and crash-tested cabins with high-voltage safety systems, designed for lower operating costs and higher uptime.
Supporting infrastructure, including charging hubs developed with Yahhvi, will enable the expansion to major national highways, specifically the NH48 freight corridor connecting seven states and six key e-commerce regions.
