VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) marked World EV Day 2025 by reaffirming its commitment to advancing clean mobility in India through an ecosystem-led approach. For VECV, electric mobility extends beyond vehicles to include charging infrastructure, connected services, and inclusive, sustainable manufacturing practices that make adoption scalable and future-ready.

VECV is expanding its EV portfolio with products such as the Eicher Pro X Small Truck, Eicher 2055 EV, and Eicher Skyline Pro Electric bus, already deployed in several cities for school and staff transport. To enhance charging access, VECV has partnered with charging point operators, enabling customers to use thousands of charging stations across India.

The company’s Industry 4.0-enabled Bhopal plant further strengthens its sustainability credentials. It features AI-driven energy monitoring, an all-women assembly line, and eco-conscious design. Currently, 42 per cent of VECV’s energy needs are met through renewables, supported by a 75 MW captive solar capacity, with a target of 70 per cent by FY27. The plant also houses a 52-million-litre rainwater harvesting reservoir, supporting operations for up to four months, in line with VECV’s goal of becoming water-positive by 2030.

VECV was among the first to launch BS-VI vehicles in 2019 and continues to develop alternative fuel solutions, including CNG, LNG, hydrogen ICE, and hydrogen fuel cells, alongside its electric offerings.

Through innovation, renewable integration, and ecosystem partnerships, VECV aims to contribute to India’s net-zero journey, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable transportation.
