Tata Motors Accelerates Electric Trucking with BillionE Deal and New Orders

Tata Motors has taken a significant step in scaling electric freight mobility with the delivery of its Prima E.55S electric prime movers to BillionE Mobility, alongside securing an additional order for 250 units. The development signals growing momentum in zero-emission heavy-duty logistics in India.

The fleet will be deployed in phases across key freight corridors spanning Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Delhi NCR and Haryana, supporting long-haul transport of steel, cement and other industrial goods.

The Tata Prima E.55S is designed for demanding real-world operations, powered by a 450 kWh battery—one of the largest in its segment—offering a range of up to 350 km on a single charge. Built on Tata Motors’ i-MoEV architecture, the truck features an integrated e-axle, regenerative braking, dual fast-charging capability and a host of advanced safety systems, enabling higher uptime and lower operating costs.

Receiving the e-trucks, Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, 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.”

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.”
