India: UltraTech Cement plans to scale up its electric vehicle fleet in its logistics operations to over 600 EV trucks by the end of 2026. UltraTech has signed service contracts with electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Energy in Motion and Sany to deploy EV trucks. The total fleet of 600 EV trucks will transport about 5Mt/yr of clinker and other key materials across Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha. Once fully operational, the fleet of trucks will enable a net carbon reduction of over 111,700t/yr, displacing the equivalent of 39 million litres of diesel per year.
