EKA 55T

The EKA 55T is EKA Mobility's flagship heavy-duty electric tractor-trailer, built for long-haul logistics and pairable with a range of semi-trailers — from flatbeds and containers to tankers. It is the top of EKA's commercial range, a 6x4 goods carrier with a 55,000 kg GCW and a 43,000 kg payload capability.

Price & Variants

Priced on enquiry (B2B quotation); no ex-showroom city price is published. Offered with two lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) battery pack options — 424 kWh and 282 kWh — both rated for up to 200 km per charge.

Battery & Range

Powered by a 650 VDC LFP battery pack. Range is claimed at up to 200 km depending on application and driving cycle, with 240 kW CCS2 dual-gun fast charging that takes the pack from 20% to 100% in under an hour (around 60 minutes), and a standard full-charge time of about 180 minutes.

Performance

A PMSM traction motor delivers 400 kW peak power (250 kW rated) and 2500 Nm peak torque, driving a 6x4 configuration through a smart 4-speed AMT gearbox. Top speed is 80 km/h with 30% gradeability and regenerative braking.

Dimensions & Practicality

Measures 7115 x 2490 x 3028 mm on a 4100 mm wheelbase with 256 mm ground clearance. Cabin offers D+1+1 sleeper berth seating, power steering, climate control and a driver information display.

Who should buy the EKA 55T?

The EKA 55T is built for fleet operators and logistics firms moving heavy freight on defined routes — the 6x4 tractor-trailer pairs with flatbeds, containers and tankers, and the 43,000 kg payload with 55,000 kg GCW covers serious cargo duties. The 240 kW CCS2 dual-gun fast charging (20-100% in under an hour) makes multi-shift operation practical where DC charging is available, and the sleeper cab with D+1+1 seating, power steering and climate control supports long-haul drivers. Because pricing is on enquiry and charging infrastructure is a real factor, it suits operators with planned depot routes rather than ad-hoc use.
