VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), a joint venture between the Volvo Group and Eicher Motors, has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jio-bp pulse, India’s leading public charge point operator, to strengthen charging infrastructure for electric commercial vehicles.
The collaboration will give Eicher Trucks and Buses’ EV customers access to over 6,000 Jio-bp charging points across highways, urban centers, and purpose-built EV hubs — the largest DC fast-charging network in the country.
In an industry-first move, the My Eicher app will integrate Jio-bp’s public charging network, enabling fleet operators to locate chargers in real time, check availability, and optimize vehicle utilization through data-driven insights.
Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO, VECV, said: This MoU represents a major milestone in electrifying trucking in India. By integrating Jio-bp’s vast charging network into our My Eicher app, we are addressing one of the biggest adoption barriers and enabling seamless access to high-power chargers for our customers.
Sarthak Behuria, Chairman, Jio-bp, added: This partnership is a significant step in electrifying the trucking sector. Every such collaboration brings us closer to the government’s ambitious goal of widespread EV adoption across India.
Beyond public charging access, both companies will explore depot-level charging solutions and bespoke infrastructure projects to support large EV fleets and bus operations. The partnership marks a pivotal step toward accelerating zero-emission logistics and creating a sustainable future for India’s transport sector.
