I am delighted today that with the launch of the Ace EV, we are entering a new era of e-cargo mobility. Tata Ace is India’s most successful commercial vehicle ever.

Besides these, Ace EV’s container is made of lightweight, durable materials that perfectly suit the requirements of e-commerce logistics.
“The introduction of the Ace EV marks a major milestone in our journey to deliver zero-emission cargo mobility in India. Building on our experience and success with electric buses, we have designed use-case-specific EV solutions for intra-city distribution. These solutions effectively cater to the application’s needs and deliver a superior value proposition to all stakeholders. We are much encouraged with the support and response received from our e-commerce customers, with whom we begin this journey of zero-emission cargo mobility,” as commented by Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors.
