TATA Motors bags the biggest EV deal of the year


While moving towards accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation, Tata Motors, on the occasion of World Environment Day i.e on 5th June 2022, signed an agreement with BluSmart Electric Mobility for delivering 10,000 XPRES T EVs to the company.

This deployment of 10,000 units makes this the biggest ever EV fleet order in India. With deliveries starting soon, these vehicles are an addition to the 3,500 XPRES T EV order, which was signed by both companies in October last year, and will be used across the country for commuters, which in turn, helps minimize the carbon footprint.
