Montra Electric Last-Mile Mobility has completed its inaugural bulk railway shipment, transporting 175 Super Auto electric three-wheelers from Tada, Andhra Pradesh, to Siliguri, West Bengal. The dispatch marks a strategic logistics shift to meet rising festive season demand while reducing environmental impact.

The rail journey covered over 2,000 kilometres in under 72 hours, completing in less than five days compared with the 12–14 days typically required for road transport. The company estimates this approach reduced CO₂ emissions by approximately 15,800 tonnes compared with conventional truck-based deliveries.

According to Montra Electric, the rail shipment consolidated what would have required 17–18 separate truck trips into a single movement, cutting logistics costs by up to 30 per cent. The vehicles are being stored at a dedicated warehouse in Siliguri before distribution to dealerships across North and North-East India.

“By adopting smarter logistics, we have been able to significantly reduce lead times, ensuring vehicles reach our customers faster while lowering our environmental footprint,” said Deependra Sharma, CEO of Montra Electric Last-Mile Mobility.

The Super Auto offers a top speed of 55 km/h, a peak power output of 10 kW, and an assured range of 160 km. The three-wheeler features LED headlights, radial tubeless tyres, and a metal body with boron steel chassis construction.

Montra Electric operates more than 110 exclusive showrooms across India and continues to expand its retail presence in the electric last-mile mobility segment.
