Eicher Trucks & Buses has achieved a significant milestone by covering the Kashmir to Kanyakumari (K2K) route with a loaded Pro X EV, a electric commercial vehicle. The journey, which spanned over 4000 kilometers, was completed with multiple planned charging halts, demonstrating the vehicle’s consistent performance and endurance. The expedition was undertaken to showcase the capabilities of the Eicher Pro X EV and to build confidence among fleet operators, entrepreneurs, and logistics players who are evaluating electric alternatives.
According to SS Gill, Chief Commercial Officer, VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd., the successful completion of the K2K route with the Pro X EV has proven that electric mobility is no longer restricted to short-haul, last-mile deliveries. The company has demonstrated that its EV technology is commercially viable, reliable, and has the range to serve as the backbone of India’s green logistics corridors.
Abhishek Chaudhary, SVP – SCV Sales & Marketing, VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd., noted that the Eicher Pro X EV was put to the ultimate test, covering diverse climates and challenging altitudes, and has moved beyond the company’s own stringent testing benchmarks to real-world validation. The vehicle has demonstrated that it is a dependable partner for logistics movement across varied operations in India.
The K2K mission was a challenge worthy of Eicher’s heritage, and the records set by the Eicher Pro X EV have conclusively demonstrated the company’s future-readiness. The expedition reinforced that India’s rapidly expanding EV charging infrastructure can support electric commercial vehicles across highways, urban clusters, varied terrains, and long-haul applications.
By demonstrating real-world endurance and operational reliability, Eicher aims to address one of the key barriers to EV adoption in the commercial vehicle space: confidence. The company seeks to build trust among fleet operators, entrepreneurs, and logistics players evaluating electric alternatives. The Pro X EV has established its readiness for any logistical challenge the Indian landscape presents, with its ability to deliver predictable operating economics and minimal maintenance requirements under real-world freight conditions. Overall, the successful completion of the K2K route with the Pro X EV is a significant milestone for Eicher and a major step towards promoting electric mobility in India.
