Ashok Leyland delivers electric AVTR 55T trucks to ASAT Logistics for Shree Cement transport, boosting green logistics and cutting carbon emissions in heavy-duty transport.

Electric trucks are beginning to reshape how goods move across India and now, Ashok Leyland is joining that shift. Known for its strong presence in the commercial truck space, the company has taken a practical step toward cleaner transport.

These aren’t your average delivery trucks, they're made to carry serious weight, stuff like cement and other raw materials. Ashok Leyland handed over the first four on October 15, 2025. That kickstarts a new chapter in its work with ASAT Logistics.

ASAT Logistics is closely linked with Shree Cement and they’ll be using these new electric trucks to carry materials. The move isn’t just about transport it’s also about making delivery cleaner, more efficient and less polluting.

More and more companies are thinking about cutting emissions and going greener. This tie-up is just one way trucks and clean tech are starting to come together in real-world use.

What’s Special About These Trucks?

The Ashok Leyland trucks given to ASAT are not your everyday vehicles. These are built for strength and long-distance hauling. But they’re electric, which makes them quieter, cleaner and better for the planet.

Some key things about these AVTR 55T electric trucks:

They run on lithium-ion batteries
Come with dual-gun charging (that means they charge faster)
Fit well with current trailers and setups
Have tech features like automatic gears, driver assist tools and telematics systems

Voices Behind the Move

Sanjeev Kumar, President of the MHCV division at Ashok Leyland, personally handed over the keys. He said this was more than just a truck delivery — it was a message that electric trucks are ready for the big jobs in logistics.

Arvind Sarda, CEO of ASAT Logistics, shared his thoughts too. He said working with Ashok Leyland helps them and Shree Cement stick to their green targets. These trucks, he added, will help build a cleaner transport system.

Looking Ahead

Ashok Leyland isn’t stopping here. The company, which is part of the Hinduja Group, plans to keep growing its electric truck lineup. They believe that businesses will benefit in the long run — not only from reduced fuel costs but also from lower upkeep and fewer emissions.

By rolling out trucks like the AVTR 55T, Ashok Leyland is showing that big logistics jobs don’t always need diesel. And as more companies adopt this tech, India's roads might start to look — and sound — a little different.
