While we began our journey in the passenger 3-wheeler space with SUPER AUTO and expanded into first-mile logistics with our RHINO heavy trucks, one segment we always wanted to make a foray is – Cargo for mid and last mile. With EVIATOR, we have already made inroads into the mid-mile segment. And now, with the launch of the SUPER CARGO, we are entering the highly strategic last-mile delivery space. As a Tru-EV brand, our responsibility goes beyond just offering vehicles – it is about enabling a cleaner, efficient future. With this, we are proud to expand our presence across segments and power India’s mobility shift towards sustainability.”

Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy, said, “Maharashtra has been a strong market for us, and we’ve seen EV adoption here grow steadily over the years. As more people switch to electric, what really builds confidence is knowing that charging won’t be a challenge. However, for many potential buyers, charging continues to be one of the perceived barriers, and that’s something we’ve always worked towards solving. From the beginning, we’ve focused on building infrastructure that keeps pace with growing demand. Crossing 400 fast chargers in the state is a reflection of that effort. It’s about giving riders the assurance that they’ll always find a charger when they need one. As we expand our retail presence, the charging network will continue to grow in tandem to make EV ownership truly seamless.”
