Based on the Intra platform, the EV Pickup has the perfect combination of practicality and cost-efficiency, offering a robust solution for evolving cargo needs in India. Speaking at the launch, Girish Wagh, Managing Director and CEO of Tata Motors Ltd., highlighted the company’s commitment to green mobility.

The new pickup focuses on productivity and operational efficiency. It is capable of loading the weight of up to 1,750 kg and a load body length of up to 10 feet 2 inches, making it suitable for diverse applications such as FMCG distribution, e-commerce logistics, cold-chain transport, waste management, LPG supply, and dairy operations. It is empowered by a 72 kW electric motor delivering 230 Nm of peak torque, ensuring strong performance even under heavy loads. The pickup also features 23% gradeability, enabling smooth operations on challenging terrains. It is equipped with a 28.2 kWh IP67-rated battery that offers a certified range of 211 km on a single charge.

It also comes integrated with Tata Motors’ Fleet Edge platform, offering real-time vehicle tracking, health monitoring, and predictive maintenance capabilities.
While designing the vehicle, the company has paid full attention towards driver’s, and therefore it carries a walkthrough cabin, Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), and a low-noise electric drivetrain that reduces fatigue and enhances overall driving experience. To encourage the adoption of the pick-up, Tata Motors has developed a comprehensive EV ecosystem, including over 25,000 charging points nationwide, more than 200 dedicated EV service centres, and home charging solutions.
