EKA 7T

The EKA 7T is a 4x2, 6.95-tonne GVW electric goods carrier from EKA Mobility, built for mid-range city distribution and intra-city logistics. A peak output of 200 kW and 1,800 Nm of torque from a PMSM traction motor drive the 7T through an automatic transmission, with a claimed top speed of 80 km/h. Price is not disclosed on the official site and the truck is sold on commercial quotation, so fleet operators should request a formal quote from an EKA dealer.

Range and charging

A 129 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery pack operating at 650 V gives the EKA 7T a claimed range of up to 200 km on a full charge. Fast charging on a CCS 2 socket takes about 3 hours with the 120 kW single-gun charger, which suits overnight depot charging for one-shift distribution runs rather than opportunistic top-ups mid-shift.

Performance and payload

The 7T carries a 3,500 kg payload within a 6,950 kg GVW on a ladder chassis with a 3,320 mm wheelbase and 260 mm ground clearance. Its 3,200 x 2,005 x 1,380 mm cargo deck holds a 312 ft3 box body, and a 22% gradeability plus semi-elliptical leaf-spring suspension at both ends keep it credible on inner-city and peri-urban routes. Drum brakes, power steering, a D+2 day cabin and a digital instrument cluster round out the standard equipment list.

Who should buy it

The EKA 7T suits small and mid-size fleet operators moving up to 3.5 tonnes on predictable city routes with overnight charging at the depot. The 200 km range and 3-hour fast charge are honest limits for a mid-range truck; operators running two shifts or long intercity legs should confirm the economics with an EKA dealer before committing, since pricing is by quotation.
