Muddapur, Karnataka, July 24, 2026: Billion Electric Mobility (BillionE) has partnered with JK Cement to deploy over 150 heavy-duty electric trucks during the current financial year, accelerating the cement maker’s transition to zero-emission freight transportation. The collaboration began with the rollout of the first fleet of 20 electric trucks with a 55-tonne Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) from JK Cement’s Muddapur plant in Karnataka. The trucks will transport cement to stockyards across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa, marking one of the region’s largest deployments of electric trucks for cement logistics.
Under the partnership, Billion Electric will provide its integrated E-Mobility-as-a-Service (eMaaS) platform, offering electric trucks, charging infrastructure, fleet operations and technology-driven route management to support efficient commercial freight movement. To enable seamless operations, the deployment will leverage ChargeZone’s expanding high-speed charging network across key freight corridors. Charging infrastructure is being strengthened at strategic locations including Nipani, Satara, Pune, Karad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Goa, Hubli and Davanagere, creating the backbone for long- and mid-haul electric trucking.
Commenting on the partnership, Sanjeev Kulkarni, CEO, Billion Electric Mobility, said the collaboration demonstrates that heavy-duty electric freight has become commercially viable and will help accelerate the decarbonisation of India’s logistics sector. The partnership is expected to serve as a scalable model for sustainable industrial logistics by combining JK Cement’s green mobility ambitions with Billion Electric’s electric freight platform and ChargeZone’s charging ecosystem.
