The rollout will begin in Delhi and later expand to key highways, with Amazon targeting electrification of the 2,800-km Delhi-Bengaluru-Chennai freight corridor

Tata Motors and Amazon have joined hands to deploy 3,000 electric trucks for e-commerce logistics, a joint announcement said on Tuesday. Heavy Industries Minister H D Kumaraswamy flagged off the initial fleet of trucks. "I congratulate Tata Motors and Amazon on this significant collaboration to deploy 3,000 electric trucks across Amazon's transportation network in India," Kumaraswamy said. The minister said while electric passenger vehicles and two-wheelers have made encouraging progress, the electrification of commercial transportation is equally important. "As India's economy expands, the demand for freight transportation will continue to increase. We must therefore ensure that the growth of our logistics sector is accompanied by great energy efficiency. Today's initiative is an important step in that direction," he said. A senior Amazon executive said all 3,000 electric trucks will be deployed within 3 years.
