Amazon and Tata Motors to Deploy 3,000 Electric Trucks in India

Amazon and Tata Motors have announced a collaboration to deploy 3,000 electric trucks across Amazon’s transportation network in India, the largest electric-truck deployment by an e-commerce company in the country. It marks Amazon’s most significant move yet to extend fleet electrification beyond last-mile delivery. The first batch was flagged off in Delhi by Union Heavy Industries Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy.

Tata Motors will supply the trucks, while Amazon’s carrier partners will own and operate them. The rollout begins in Delhi during the festive season, when freight volumes peak, with light- and medium-duty trucks on Amazon’s middle-mile network, starting with the Tata Ultra E.7. The next phase will extend to national highways, with the goal of electrifying the 2,800-km Delhi-Bengaluru-Chennai corridor along NH48, India’s longest freight corridor, spanning seven states and six major e-commerce regions. Charging hubs are being developed with infrastructure provider Yahhvi.

The rollout follows Delhi’s 2026 EV Policy, under which the first 1,000 privately owned medium-duty electric trucks registered in the three months after launch can enter the city at any time of day for a decade, bypassing “No Entry” hours. The Ultra E.7 is built around an integrated e-axle with CCS2 fast charging, regenerative braking and a crash-tested cabin with high-voltage safety systems.

The collaboration builds on Amazon’s earlier work, including 10 charging yards developed by Yahhvi, Laneshift, a programme with C40 Cities that piloted electric trucks on the Bengaluru-Chennai corridor and SUPEREV, a digital platform from The Climate Pledge to simplify commercial EV adoption.

“We have made significant progress in India, with more than 15,000 electric vehicles operating across 500-plus cities. We are now setting a bold vision to scale electric trucking, addressing one of the toughest challenges in decarbonising transportation,” said Abhinav Singh, Vice President, Operations, Amazon APAC, Middle East, Africa and Turkey.

“Working with Amazon India, we are going beyond vehicle deployment to provide charging infrastructure, servicing and operational support,” said Rajesh Kaul, Vice President and Business Head, Trucks, Tata Motors.
