Propel Industries expanded its electric mining and construction lineup with four new e-tippers, a next-generation connectivity platform and comprehensive EV service programme for heavy-duty operations

Propel Industries, a leading company in crushing and screening equipment and a pioneer in electric tipper manufacturing, has expanded its electric mining and construction portfolio with the unveiling of four new tipper models, an all-new connectivity platform and a comprehensive after-sales uptime solution.

 

The launch includes four new electric tippers — 90CED, 70CED, 560HEV-X and 470MEV Gen-2 — along with Pulse.ev, an all-new connectivity platform, and Pro EV Care, a comprehensive EV service programme.

 

Speaking on the launches, V. Senthilkumar, managing director, Propel Industries, said every new platform introduced responds to the real needs of heavy-duty mining and construction environments. “Our focus remains on productivity, long-term operating economics, reliability and safety. With these additions, we are strengthening India’s electric heavy-duty ecosystem and giving operators technologies they can trust in demanding conditions.”

 

 

Siddarth Kirtane, president, EV sales, marketing and service, added that the announcements reinforce Propel’s commitment to innovation, high productivity, zero-emission performance and future-ready heavy-duty mobility. “Since the start of EV truck sales in 2023, the brand has expanded its presence across coal, overburden, limestone, iron ore, stone quarry, marble and granite, and solid waste management segments. Propel trucks have cumulatively covered over 5 lakh operating hours and the first set of eight trucks have clocked 12,500 hours in two years, equivalent to 20 hours per day. This proves the reliability and uptime of Propel electric trucks.”
