Seamless Charging Integration

A key highlight of this partnership is the first-ever integration of a public charging network into the My Eicher fleet management app. Fleet operators will now have real-time visibility of charger locations, availability, and data-driven insights to improve vehicle utilization and reduce downtime. This innovation directly addresses one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption, charging accessibility.

Strategic Collaboration for Fleet Electrification

Under this MoU, Jio-bp Pulse will leverage its fast-growing EV charging infrastructure and customized charging solutions, while VECV will provide its expertise in electric truck and bus technology. Together, the companies will actively work with fleet operators to promote electric mobility and accelerate the transition to zero-emission logistics across India.

The collaboration also extends beyond public charging. Both companies will jointly evaluate depot-level charging setups and tailor-made infrastructure projects to meet the needs of large EV fleets and bus operations, with separate agreements planned based on customer requirements.
