Montra Electric (eM&HCV Division), India’s full-spectrum electric commercial vehicle brand from the Murugappa Group, and Wonder Cement are moving a 250-vehicle deployment of the Rhino 5538 EV 4x2 Tractor Trailer into regular commercial service on India’s longest electric freight corridor. It is one of the largest heavy-duty electric truck commitments made by an Indian industrial company, and it is running on live cement logistics rather than as a contained pilot.

Initially 30 trucks were flagged off from Nimbahera Wonder Cement Plant in July 2026 and are already hauling full payloads on daily duty cycles. The fleet operates on the Nimbahera-Dahej Port and Nimbahera-Tuna Port routes, spanning approximately 1,450 km across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The trucks run to the same operational schedule as a conventional diesel cement fleet, which is the only condition under which long-haul electrification can be judged fairly.
