Flytta Launches India’s First Retrofitted Electric Truck for Medium and Heavy-Duty Transport

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 6: Flytta has unveiled India’s first retrofitted electric truck in the medium and heavy-duty category — a 13-ton payload vehicle specially engineered for transporting cement bags across steep ghat roads and demanding industrial routes. The truck has been custom-developed by Kalyani Powertrain Limited (KPTL), the electric mobility arm of the Kalyani Group, and will soon enter operations with Dalmia Cement along the Yadwad–Goa corridor.

This groundbreaking collaboration brings together Flytta’s expertise in sustainable logistics, Kalyani’s advanced EV retrofitting and powertrain engineering, and Dalmia Cement’s commitment to green manufacturing and supply chain innovation. Collectively, the three companies are paving the way for a new era of industrial decarbonization in India’s logistics sector.

The first fleet has already commenced operations, and Flytta plans to deploy nearly 200 such retrofitted EV trucks in the coming months. With this milestone, Flytta has evolved into a fully integrated medium and heavy-duty EV trucking platform, offering payload capacities from 13 tons to 40 tons across trucks, dumpers, and trailers for industries spanning cement, steel, coal, metals, and minerals.
