KV Pradeep, Chairman and MD, Olectra Greentech said, “Olectra is playing a major role in the electric heavy vehicle segment in India and the e-tipper manufactured by their company has become the first certified heavy-duty electric tipper in the country. The Olectra e-tipper is India’s first certified heavy-duty electric tipper engineered and manufactured in-house. We showcased the prototype at recent exhibitions in Delhi and Bengaluru, which created great curiosity and enthusiasm. The first order for 20 e-tippers is in the final stage of discussions. We are shortly going to launch variants of the e-tipper and electric truck. It is just the beginning of our journey.”
The Olectra electric tipper is said to introduce a green solution in the construction, infrastructure, mining and quarrying sectors. These sectors are highly demanding due to the volume of material that needs to be transported to work sites. The Olectra electric tipper is cost-effective in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), allowing owners to improve their operating profits. The e-tipper can be used 24×7 at work sites as it is silent and has zero carbon emissions.
