Montra Electric, along with Green Drive and TVS Vehicle Mobility Solution, delivers 100 EVIATOR 350 Electric Refrigerated Trucks for ‘More Retail’ across Major Cities
Bengaluru, May 19 : Montra Electric, the clean mobility brand of the Murugappa Group, has delivered 100 EVIATOR 350 electric refrigerated trucks Pan India, marking a significant step forward in the electrification of urban cold chain logistics. The fleet has been deployed with Green Drive Mobility and TVS Vehicle Mobility Solution to power high-frequency quick commerce operations for More Retail.
At a time when demand for reliable, temperature-controlled last-mile delivery is rapidly rising, the EVIATOR 350 has been purpose-built to meet the operational intensity of modern logistics. The vehicle features a fully integrated refrigeration system capable of maintaining precise temperatures from –25°C to +25°C, ensuring consistent performance for temperature-sensitive goods across varying urban conditions.
Designed for high utilisation and predictable daily operations, the EVIATOR 350 delivers strong real-world efficiency. It offers over 130 km range on a single charge under active reefer conditions, and with a 45-minute DC fast charge, extends to over 250 km, enabling longer operating hours and improved fleet productivity.
Speaking on the deployment, Mr. Hari Krishna, Managing Director, Green Drive Mobility, said,
“For us, the priority is operational efficiency at scale. The EVIATOR 350 delivers consistent temperature control along with strong real-world range, which is critical for high-frequency quick commerce operations. What stands out is its ability to maintain performance across long operating hours without compromising uptime. This directly improves asset utilisation and makes electric cold chain logistics commercially viable for us.”
Mr. G. Srinivasa Raghavan, Managing Director, TVS Smart Mobility, said,
“From an end-to-end solution perspective for the EV ecosystem, TVS Smart Mobility is excited to partner with Montra Electric to deliver the asset, manage uptime and provide predictability of service through technology. From a leasing perspective, predictability and long-term asset performance are key. The EVIATOR 350 brings both together through a combination of reliable technology and strong OEM backing. Montra Electric’s engineering capability and service support give us the confidence to finance specialised EV assets like refrigerated trucks, enabling wider adoption of electric mobility across logistics fleets.”
Mr. Saju Nair, CEO, Montra Electric (e-SCV) said,
“Cold chain logistics is one of the most demanding segments in urban transport, where performance, precision, and uptime are non-negotiable. With the EVIATOR 350, we have developed a purpose-built solution that integrates refrigeration with electric mobility seamlessly. This deployment validates that EVs can move beyond standard cargo and reliably support specialised, high-performance logistics applications at scale.”
This deployment underscores a broader shift in the logistics ecosystem, where electric mobility is moving beyond standard cargo to specialised, high-performance applications. By replacing conventional refrigerated vehicles, the EVIATOR fleet is expected to reduce emissions while enhancing efficiency, supporting the evolving needs of quick commerce and urban supply chains.
