Ampstar secured an order for 100 electric heavy-duty trucks from JSW Cement for clinker and slag transport between Vijayanagar in Karnataka and Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh. The approximately 330-kilometre route is expected to carry 1.25 lakh tonnes of cargo each month. The order was reported on 29 Oct 2026 and covers Ampstar’s new 55-tonne 4×2 tractor units with swappable batteries. ⚡
The deployment connects electric commercial vehicles with dedicated battery infrastructure. JSW Eco-Mobility, a subsidiary of JSW Greentech, will establish four battery-swapping stations along the route, while Paradeep Parivahan will manage logistics. Ampstar estimated that the zero-emission fleet could reduce diesel consumption in transport operations by approximately 45 million litres and avoid around 6,250 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the contract period.
Key Points:
- The trucks will move clinker and slag between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
- Monthly cargo movement is estimated at 1.25 lakh tonnes.
- Four swapping stations will support the fleet and reduce replenishment downtime.
- The environmental impact estimate covers 45 million litres of diesel and 6,250 tonnes of avoided carbon dioxide emissions.
The order is relevant to India’s electric commercial-vehicle and cement logistics markets because it demonstrates a battery-swapping model for intensive industrial transport. The contract also creates execution dependencies: station commissioning, vehicle deployment and sustained cargo volumes will determine how quickly the operating benefits are realised. 🚚
