Triton EV Semi Truck

The Triton EV Semi Truck is a 45-tonne electric semi-trailer tractor built by Triton Electric Vehicle India Pvt Ltd for long-haul freight and logistics duty. It runs on a 288 kWh battery pack driving a 250 kW high-torque electric motor, with a 33-tonne payload capacity and a claimed 200 km range on a single charge. Pricing is on application through Triton EV dealerships, as is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class.

Range and charging

The 288 kWh lithium-ion pack delivers a claimed 200 km of driving range per charge, aimed at medium and long-distance haul runs. Fast charging reaches 80% in about 2 hours, which suits shift-based depot charging on overnight schedules. Regenerative braking recovers energy on descents and in stop-and-go highway traffic, extending usable range on hilly corridors.

Performance and payload

A 250 kW high-torque electric motor with a 6-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) moves up to 33,000 kg of payload within the 45-tonne gross combination weight. The truck reaches a top speed of 90 km/h and handles 20% gradeability for highway ramps and ghat sections. The chassis-with-cabin layout carries a customisable body, while pneumatic braking with ABS, air suspension at the rear and power steering keep laden operation stable.

Who should buy it

The Triton EV Semi Truck is aimed at fleet operators running intercity freight, hub-and-spoke distribution and logistics contracts who want diesel-level payload with electric running costs. The 200 km range and 2-hour fast charge fit a single-shift or two-shift pattern with depot charging between runs. Buyers with cross-country routes longer than the range figure should evaluate charging stops and total cost of ownership with a Triton EV dealer before committing.
