More Retail, a leading supermarket and hypermarket chain, has expanded its electric mid-mile logistics operations through the deployment of 110 Montra Electric Eviator electric small commercial vehicles across its distribution network, including 25 units in Bengaluru.

The company shared that electric commercial vehicles now account for 150 of its 600 total mid-mile logistics fleet. The 110 Montra Electric Eviator units operate across daily store replenishment and delivery routes, covering a combined minimum distance of 22,000 kilometres per day. The transition from internal combustion engine vehicles aims to lower operational energy expenses and vehicle maintenance requirements while providing driver ergonomics for city traffic conditions.

Saju Nair, CEO of the e-SCV Division, Montra Electric, said, "Electrification of commercial mobility will accelerate when it delivers measurable business value at scale. More Retail’s journey towards 100 percent electrification with our Eviator, is a strong example of that shift, from evaluating EVs as an alternative to deploying them as a core part of everyday logistics. As More Retail moves towards a fully electric mid-mile fleet, our focus is to enable that transition with vehicles and an ecosystem built around uptime, efficiency and long-term profitability."

Prasanna Hegde, National Transport Manager, More Retail, said, "Our mid-mile fleet keeps our stores stocked every day, so reliability comes first for us. The move from ICE vehicles to Montra Electric's Eviator e-SCVs has been smooth across our distribution network. The vehicles have already covered over 8.8 lakh kilometres on our routes, and our drivers have responded well to their comfort, instant torque and day-to-day dependability. Alongside lower operating costs, we are cutting emissions with every delivery run. With 150 of our 600 mid-mile vehicles now electric, we are well on our way to a fully electric fleet, and Montra Electric has been a trusted partner at every step."

The Montra Electric Eviator features a 10.3-foot loading deck and a payload capacity of up to 1,707 kg. The vehicles are integrated with telematics systems that monitor battery status, driver metrics, and route planning data to maintain fleet uptime between distribution centres and retail outlets.

South Korean energy major LG Energy Solution has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with United States-based commercial electric vehicle startup indiGOtech to explore battery supply and technological collaboration.

Under the MoU, the companies will work toward a final agreement for LG Energy Solution to supply 46-series NCM cylindrical battery cells from 2027 to 2030 for indiGOtech’s Flow Ride and Flow Cargo vehicles.

The partnership involves vehicle-battery integration, performance verification, driving range extension, and charging time reduction. The agreement expands LG Energy Solution's client base for its 46-series cylindrical batteries, following a reported 1.5-fold YoY increase in cylindrical battery shipments in the second quarter.

Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, indiGOtech specialises in commercial van platforms for the North American market, integrating vehicles, charging infrastructure and digital services.

Will Graylin, Chairman and CEO, indiGOtech, said, "Urban ride hail and delivery must electrify and automate at scale, but today’s electric vehicles are not designed for purpose, and are severely limited by the local charging infrastructure – that’s why vast majority of rides and deliveries are still driven by gas vehicles. Working toward a long-term relationship with LG Energy Solution brings together advanced battery technology for durable economic advantage for vehicles, drivers and fleet operators."

Sunghwan Oh, Mobility & IT Battery Marketing Group Leader, LG Energy Solution, said, "Based on LG Energy Solution’s 46-series NCM cylindrical battery technology that boasts high energy density and rapid charging capabilities, we will closely collaborate with indiGOtech, which is successfully building the Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS) ecosystem in the U.S. Leveraging this partnership, we plan to enter the diverse commercial vehicle market in the U.S., including logistics, last-mile delivery, and ride-hailing."
