On Wednesday, Olectra Greentech Limited, a group company of Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL), made the announcement that India’s first 6×4 heavy-duty electric tipper from its stable had been awarded the country’s first homologation certificate by automobile regulatory agencies.
The electric tipper is now roadworthy, sticking to all of the Central Motor Vehicles rules, and the first order for 20 e-tippers is in the final phase of discussions, the company said, adding that the company is going to launch variants of the e-tipper and the electric truck in the near future.
The Olectra e-tipper
India’s first accredited heavy-duty electric tipper that was engineered and manufactured in-house is the Olectra e-tipper. The first order for 20 e-tippers is nearing its conclusion, and discussions have been wrapping up.
In the near future, we are going to introduce new versions of our electric truck and e-tipper. K V Pradeep, chairman and managing director of Olectra Greentech, said they are merely at the start of their journey.
In order to prepare the e-tipper for use on Indian roads, it was subjected to rigorous testing in a variety of environments.
These tests included maneuvering the vehicle over mountainous terrains at high altitudes and into the depths of the earth in mining and quarrying pits.
According to the statement, Olectra’s e-tipper can be utilized at construction sites at any time of the day or night because it is noiseless and produces no carbon emissions.
