Eicher, Magenta Partner For Carbon-Neutral Logistics Future

Driving sustainable, eco-friendly last-mile logistics across major Indian cities, Eicher Trucks partners with Magenta Mobility to deploy 100 electric Pro X trucks.

Eicher Trucks and Buses, a unit of VE Commercial Vehicles, has begun supplying the Eicher Pro X small electric trucks to Magenta Mobility, a logistics solutions provider in India.

The first batch of 100 Pro X trucks, each with a 1.7-tonne payload capacity, will be deployed in cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai, as a part of Magenta’s focus on a carbon-neutral supply chain.

The Pro X range, unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, marks Eicher’s entry into the 2-3.5-tonne electric vehicle market, too. Designed for urban and near-city distribution, the Pro X offers a commendable cargo space, energy efficiency, and key features such as air-conditioned cabins and advanced safety systems.

Co-developed with industry experts from sectors like e-commerce and FMCG, the vehicles also offer an impressive turning radius and enhanced visibility.
