Product Highlights

  • Battery packs from 171 to 450 kWh make the choice flexible, affordable and application specific. Batteries are custom configured according to the distance and gradient of mines to ensure driving time of 6 to 12 hours on a single charge; combined with 0-100% SOC charging in 1 hour.
  • Propel EV trucks offer significant savings in fuel costs - the running cost are 1/3rd to 1/5th less when compared to fossil fuel trucks. For top-down mines with enough gradient, the EV truck may not require charging due to re-generative braking/charging.
  • Propel EV Trucks use Lithium batteries with chilled cooling system ensuring optimal temperature for the battery even in harsh environments. The state-of-the-art Automatic fire extinguisher and Leakage Current detection (for both AC & DC) ensures safety of the driver and the vehicle in challenging conditions.
  • The battery is warranted for 5 years or 4000 cycles. While industry leading features such as Payload detection, Driver fatigue warning, Automatic headlamp dipper, and crash detection ensure safety, features like HVAC cool cabin, air suspended cabin, automatic transmission, and onboard diagnosis promise comfort.
  • The chassis frame with deeper section is fully reinforced for extreme road and payload conditions. ABS with hill start assist feature ensures comfortable and safe up-hill driving. Heavy-duty hub reduction axles especially designed for EV applications ensure high torque and payload.
Propel Industries aims to expand its range of electric trucks to on-road applications by the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The trucks are currently undergoing homologation to prove their road worthiness.
