If you run a last‑mile delivery operation, the Montra Eviator mini‑truck’s 170km real‑world range and 1,707kg payload can shave off a chunk of your fuel budget and keep your drivers on the road longer.
The Eviator comes in three battery packs: a 32kWh module for the base 350, a 50kWh module for the 350L+ and a 40kWh option that sits under the same chassis. Fast‑charging is a straight‑forward affair – a 30kW DC charger lifts the battery from 20% to full in just 29 minutes.
In a market that has just crossed 23,500 e‑CV sales nationwide, Montra’s 3% share – up from 1% a year ago – puts it in the same tier as Tata’s e‑Dispatch and Mahindra’s e‑Bus. What sets the Eviator apart is its high payload at a price point that sits comfortably below the ₹25‑₹30 lakh range common to most rivals.
The government’s EV mandate for commercial fleets, coupled with a 10% duty relief on electric chassis and batteries, has nudged operators toward models that can run on a single charge for most of the day. Montra’s battery‑swap option for the 55‑tonne Rhino HCV, which swaps in seven minutes, also appeals to logistics companies looking to minimise downtime.
Launched in January 2025, Montra has already delivered 810 units of the Eviator between January and September 2026, with the rest of the year expected to see a new 260‑unit order for the Rhino HCV in Manesar. For last‑mile fleets, the take‑off point is clear: a high‑payload, short‑range truck that can keep operating without costly fuel stops.
