Magenta Mobility, a leading provider of electric mobility solutions, is deepening its collaboration with Tata Motors by deploying more than 100 electric trucks from the manufacturer, including 60 units of the Ace EV truck and 40 units of the recently launched Ace EV 1000.
This expansion follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two companies in October 2023, aiming to deploy 500 units of the Tata Ace EV. The recent deployment of over 100 units is part of Magenta Mobility’s ambitious ‘Ab Ki Baar Dus Hazaar’ program, which targets deploying 10,000 electric vehicles by September 2025.
Maxson Lewis, Founder & CEO of Magenta Mobility, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, “By synergizing Tata Motors’ expertise in four-wheel small commercial vehicles (SCVs) with our integrated capabilities in logistics, charging infrastructure, and technology, this partnership is poised to redefine industry standards.”
Vinay Pathak, Vice President & Business Head of SCVPU at Tata Motors, emphasized the shared vision of revolutionizing intra-city distribution through advanced, zero-emission mobility solutions. He stated, “The Ace EV, a product of our co-creation efforts, offers unparalleled performance, reliability, and operational efficiency, while contributing to a greener future for India.”
Tata Motors had initially introduced the Ace EV electric truck in 2022, with a range of 154 kilometers. Powered by a 27kW motor with 130Nm of peak torque, the truck boasts a cargo volume of 208 cubic feet. The newer Ace EV 1000 features a range of 161 kilometers, fast charging capacity, and runs on the same 37 kW drive. Charging takes up to 7 hours on an AC charger from 10-100 per cent, and 105 minutes on a DC charger from 10 to 80 per cent. Both models have a maximum speed of 60 kph.
