Tata Motors is leading the EV space and currently holds 82% market share in the electric vehicle segment. The homegrown EV maker plans to launch new EV models in the near future. Tata has signed an agreement with BluSmart Electric Mobility to deliver 10,000 XPRES T EVs to the company on the occasion of World Environment Day.
Last year in October both the companies signed an agreement for the delivery of 3,500 XPRES T EV orders. This new order for 10,000 cars makes this the biggest EV fleet order in India. Deliveries of the new Xpres T EVs are expected to begin soon. The EVs will be used across the country for commuters thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. said, “Tata Motors is taking active steps towards the rapid electrification of mobility, and it is heartening to see renowned fleet aggregators joining the green mobility wave with us. We are delighted to continue our association with BluSmart Electric Mobility as we deploy 10,000 XPRES-T EVs across the country. Our XPRES-T EV fleet offers an optimal battery size along with a captive fast charging solution and has already set benchmarks in its category. Tata Motors is constantly working towards educating and enhancing the adoption of electric mobility in India and we hope that more people join us in this journey as we mobilize the nation to #EvolveToElectric.”
According to Mr. Anmol Singh Jaggi, CoFounder, BluSmart Electric Mobility, “With our $50M in Series A fundraise, we are supercharged to rapidly expand across Delhi NCR and the metro cities. We are thankful to Tata Motors for charging up our journey to scale up at a fast pace. BluSmart Electric Mobility has covered 50 million clean kms and delivered over 1.6 million zero-emission rides with an elevated customer experience on its platform. We are building a large-scale integrated EV mobility ecosystem in India – from the country’s largest fully-electric ride-hailing service to the largest network of EV charging super hubs. With the increasing fleet size, we are leading India on the path to reliable, sustainable, and zero-emissions mobility and also creating more inclusive and economic opportunities for driver-partners.”
The XPres brand was introduced by Tata Motors in July 2021. The XPres-T EV is the first car under the new brand, which was created particularly for fleet clients. There are two range options for the electric sedan: 213km and 165km. It has a 21.5kWh and 16.5kWH high energy density battery that can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in 90 minutes and 110 minutes, respectively. A fast charger or a 15 A plug point can be used to charge the battery. The Tata XPres T EV comes equipped with zero tailpipe emissions, a single-speed automatic transmission, two airbags, and ABS with EBD.
