VECV And Jio-BP Pulse Boost EV Charging

By Jony Shekhawat | Published Date : September 06, 2025

A strategic move to strengthen EV infrastructure across highways, cities, and logistics hubs for seamless commercial fleet operations.

India’s move towards greener transport took another step forward this week. VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), the joint venture between Volvo Group and Eicher Motors, has announced a partnership with Jio-bp Pulse, the electric mobility brand backed by Reliance and bp.

The idea is simple: give truck and bus operators easy access to reliable EV charging, so they don’t have to think twice before choosing electric vehicles.

If you sit down with a fleet owner and ask why they haven’t moved to electric yet, the reply usually circles back to one thing: charging. It’s not that they don’t like the idea, but imagine a truck waiting around for hours or taking a long detour just to find a charger. That kind of downtime hits the business hard. And that’s the very gap this new partnership is trying to close.

Together, the two companies plan to set up charging points where commercial vehicles actually run busy highways, major logistics hubs, and big cities. For drivers, this means less time worrying about “where do I charge?” and more time focusing on getting the job done.

Making Electric Fleets Practical and Reliable

VECV has already been experimenting with cleaner mobility solutions. By working with Jio-bp Pulse, it can now tell its customers: “Don’t worry about charging’ve got you covered.”
For Jio-bp Pulse, the partnership is equally important. The company has already built a strong base of charging stations for cars and two-wheelers. Heavy-duty vehicles, however, are a new challenge. Entering this space through VECV(Eicher trucks) gives Jio-bp a chance to scale quickly and prove that electric trucks and buses are practical.

One VECV executive explained it in plain words: “We want our customers to have confidence. If charging is available when and where they need it, shifting to electric becomes an easy choice.”

Beyond Business

This isn’t just about two companies doing business together. In India, trucks and buses carry a big chunk of the blame when it comes to transport pollution. Even if only a part of these vehicles switch to electric, the impact would be noticeable cleaner city air, less fuel being imported, and fewer emissions choking our highways.

But it isn’t just about going green. The math works out for businesses, too. Electric vehicles are cheaper to run, and when there’s a strong charging network in place, operators don’t have to lose precious hours waiting around. Less downtime on the road means lower costs in the long run, while companies also get to tick the box on their sustainability targets.

Toward a Cleaner Future

India has a big target of net zero by 2070. Sounds far away, but the road is long. Partnerships like VECV (Volvo trucks) and Jio-bp Pulse tell us where things are moving. For truck drivers or fleet owners, electric trucks won’t feel like some risky trial forever more like a daily, workable option. And for the rest of us? Maybe just cleaner air to breathe, less noise on the streets, and a hint of what transport could look like in the years ahead.
