April 2022 : In a major development, Olectra Greentech Limited has successfully begun 6x4 heavy-duty Electric tipper trials recently as part of its initiative to expand its product portfolio into the electric truck segment. It has now entered into truck manufacturing and this prototype is built on a heavy-duty electric tipper platform. The first of its kind truck in India, Olectra tipper, with a 220-km range on a single charge, is built with a heavy-duty bogie suspension tipper capable of managing gradability of more than 25 per cent (scaling slopes on roads with elevation, and ghat roads). The manufacturing will be scaled up in the state-of-the-art facility coming up on the outskirts of Hyderabad soon.
