Henkel Adhesive Technologies, in partnership with an integrated logistics and transport solutions company that has a tie-up with an EV retrofitting solutions provider, has flagged off the country’s first mid-haul re-powered electric truck operations for commercial logistics.

The pilot operation connects key industrial hubs via two inaugural routes: Chennai to Pune and Pune to Halol.

The re-powered electric trucks, equipped with a complete electric powertrain kit, deliver a range of 250 km per charge with payload capacity of up to 8 tons.  A single round trip on the Chennai–Pune route helps save approximately 1212 kg of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, underscoring the the substantial environmental impact this transition can make across India’s logistics chain.
