Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 6: Flytta today announced the launch of India’s first retrofitted 13-ton payload capacity electric truck, purpose-built for cement bag transportation across challenging ghat roads and industrial terrains. The truck has been custom-developed by Kalyani Powertrain Limited (KPTL), the electric mobility subsidiary of the Kalyani Group, and is being introduced into operations with Dalmia Cement on the Yadwad–Goa corridor.

This pioneering initiative combines Flytta’s sustainable logistics expertise, Kalyani’s engineering excellence in EV retrofitting and powertrain solutions, and Dalmia Cement’s commitment to green manufacturing and supply chain transformation. Together, the three companies are setting a new benchmark for industrial decarbonization in India.

The first fleet has already commenced operations, and Flytta plans to deploy nearly 200 such retrofitted EV trucks in the coming months. With this milestone, Flytta has evolved into a fully integrated medium and heavy-duty EV trucking platform, offering payload capacities from 13 tons to 40 tons across trucks, dumpers, and trailers for industries spanning cement, steel, coal, metals, and minerals.
