CMV360 Says
BillionE getting over 250 deals for electric trucks shows that companies are now ready to go green. With fuel getting expensive and pollution rules getting stricter, electric trucks are a smart and affordable option. The government’s PM E-DRIVE scheme is also helping by giving big subsidies. If charging stations keep growing and more people join in, electric trucks could soon become a regular part of daily transport in India.
