Olectra Meghaetron Electric Tipper Truck
Being a pioneer in electric mobility in India, Olectra Electric Mobility has introduced an all electric tipper truck. Meghaetron Electric is a heavy-duty tipper truck and is the best-in-class manufactured by Olectra. It also marks the OEM’s foray into the tipper segment in India. It is India’s first homologated electric tipper and first of its kind truck in India.
As the fossil fuel costs skyrocket, introduction of an all electric truck will be a game-changer in the segment. With the launch of this electric tipper, the company will be targeting the mining sector as on an average a mining tipper needs 70 to 110 kms a day which is satisfied by the Meghaetron.
It can be used all day at work sites as it is silent and has zero carbon emissions. Conventional tippers consumes most of the oxygen inside a mine and therefore, the mine must be evacuated when the vehicle enters the zone. But in case of an electric tipper, there’s no need for oxygen. This results in continued operations and enhanced performance.
It has also been put through intensive testing under various conditions including mountainous areas, high altitudes, mining and quarrying.
The launch of Olectra’s first electric tipper which was earlier scheduled for March 2023, will now be launching in this quarter.
