Speaking at the Award Ceremony, SS Gill, Chief Commercial Officer, VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd., noted, “By covering the K2K route with a loaded Pro X EV, Eicher Trucks & Buses has proven that electric mobility is no longer restricted to short-haul, ‘last-mile’ deliveries. We are not just setting records, but through the strength of our service network and extensive dealer set-up, we are demonstrating that our 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., added, “The Eicher Pro X EV was put to the ultimate test—covering over 4000 kilometers across diverse climates and challenging altitudes. With this recognition from the India Book of Records we’ve moved beyond our own stringent testing benchmarks to real-world validation - Demonstrating that Eicher Pro X EV is a dependable partner for logistics movement across varied operations in India.”
Commenting on the K2K mission, Bhagwan K Bindiganavile, EVP – Strategic Planning, Brand & Communications, VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd., concluded, “From one end of India to another, the journey between Srinagar, Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu and every region in between represents an iconic and timeless challenge for any man, woman or machine. It was a challenge worthy of Eicher’s heritage that has made Eicher trucks the cornerstone of speedy and fuel-efficient transport. In line with our ‘Nayi Soch, Naye Raaste’ promise, the records set by the Eicher Pro X EV conclusively demonstrates our future-readiness.”
Throughout the journey, the Eicher Pro X EV demonstrated consistent performance with multiple planned charging halts. 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.
With this milestone, Eicher aims to address one of the key barriers to EV adoption in the commercial vehicle space: confidence. By demonstrating real-world endurance and operational reliability, the company seeks to build trust among fleet operators, entrepreneurs, and logistics players evaluating electric alternatives.
By maximising kilometres per charge and maintaining stable cruising performance across plains, hills, and coastal routes, the Pro X EV has established its readiness for any logistical challenge the Indian landscape presents.
Beyond zero tailpipe emissions, the K2K run showcased the Eicher Pro X EV's ability to deliver predictable operating economics and minimal maintenance requirements under real-world freight conditions. These factors are pivotal for fleet operators evaluating the long-term Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and the commercial viability of transitioning to electric fleets.
