The first batch of trucks was handed over in

Receiving the e-trucks, Mr.
KartikeyHariyani, Founder of BillionE&ChargeZone and Mr.
Sanjeev Kulkarni, CEO, BillionE Mobility, said, “Our focus at Billion Electric
Mobility is on building electric commercial vehicle solutions that can be
deployed reliably, and at scale across real freight operations for inter-city
routes. We are entering into a strategic partnership with Tata Motors as we aim
to accelerate our commitment for systematic large-scale acquisition and month
on month planned pipeline for deployment 6 to 18 months targeting 1,500 units
of heavy‑duty logistics in India. The Tata Prima E.55S delivers the
performance, reliability and operational efficiency required for intensive
logistics solutions across various applications. We are pleased to induct Prima
E.55S 450kWh, India’s largest in-class battery capacity of 450 kWh to enhance
our long-haul logistics capabilities.”
Sharing his perspective, Mr. Rajesh
Kaul, Vice President and Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors Ltd., said,
“Electric trucking scales
when vehicles are built for real operating conditions—duty cycles, uptime,
energy efficiency and total cost of ownership. Developed with this application‑led
approach, the Prima E.55S brings together India’s first high‑performance e‑axle,
an advanced battery management system and dual charging ports, supported by a
segment‑leading 450 kWh battery pack designed for extended range and demanding
duty cycles. These technologies translate into strong performance, higher
uptime and lower operating costs, enabling customers to achieve faster payback.
Our close collaboration with BillionE Mobility has ensured alignment across the
vehicle and the supporting ecosystem, enabling dependable electric operations
across key freight corridors.”

vehicle architecture – and features a full‑electric drivetrain with an
integrated e‑axle and regenerative braking. Powered by a 450kWh battery pack,
the truck offers a range of up to 350 km on a single charge. Key features

and a comprehensive suite of safety technologies such as Driver Monitoring
System, Lane Departure Warning, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Cruise

long‑haul operations.
