More Retail, one of India’s leading supermarket chains, is expanding its electric mid-mile logistics fleet with Montra Electric. The retailer has deployed 110 Montra Electric EVIATOR e-SCVs, including 25 flagged off in Bengaluru today, as it progresses towards its target of 100% fleet electrification.
The vehicles collectively cover at least 22,000 km daily, helping reduce over 1,750 tonnes of tailpipe CO₂ emissions annually.
Mr. Saju Nair, CEO, e-SCV Division, Montra Electric, said, “Electrification of commercial mobility will accelerate when it delivers measurable business value at scale. More Retail’s journey towards 100% electrification with our EVIATOR, is a strong example of that shift, from evaluating EVs as an alternative to deploying them as a core part of everyday logistics. As More Retail moves towards a fully electric mid-mile fleet, our focus is to enable that transition with vehicles and an ecosystem built around uptime, efficiency and long-term profitability.”
Mr. Prasanna Hegde, National Transport Manager, More Retail Pvt Ltd, said, “Our mid-mile fleet keeps our stores stocked every day, so reliability comes first for us. The move from ICE vehicles to Montra Electric’s EVIATOR e-SCVs has been smooth across our distribution network. The vehicles have already covered over 8.8 lakh kilometres on our routes, and our drivers have responded well to their comfort, instant torque and day-to-day dependability. Alongside lower operating costs, we are cutting emissions with every delivery run. With 150 of our 600 mid-mile vehicles now electric, we are well on our way to a fully electric fleet, and Montra Electric has been a trusted partner at every step.”
