Tata Motors has achieved the one lakh sales milestone of its EVs. Over the last three years, the company has had an extraordinary journey from its first 10K to one lakh EVs and has constantly moved ahead with a narrowing gap, with the last 50K achieved in just nine months. Tata Motors lit the skies with a spectacular drone show to mark this special occasion, showcasing its journey.
Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, said,“This milestone gives us a sense of satisfaction that our bold move to enter the electrification has helped the acceptance of a technology that will accelerate India towards net carbon zero. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our EV customers, the government, our investors, and the Tata uniEVerse Ecosystem companies for their constant support. Together, we are moving India forward towards green mobility.'
This milestone is a springboard for electrification to grow. It represents the fast-progressing ecosystem, giving confidence to customers, suppliers, charging infra players and investors to deploy new technologies and build capabilities in the industry. Such fast-paced growth will create significant employment across categories of the workforce in new technologies while improving air quality, reducing oil imports and making India a key hub for EV and EV component manufacturing, he said.
According to a communication from the company, Tata EVs have covered a distance of 1.4 billion kilometres - an astonishing feat akin to three round trips to the sun. Ushering in an era of reduced carbon emissions and pollution, the collective efforts of the customers have saved a notable 2,19,432 tonne of CO2 emissions, making a significant positive impact on the environment. From an economic standpoint, Tata EV owners have collectively saved a staggering INR7 billion on fuel costs during the ownership of their electric vehicles. This substantial saving reflects the cost-effective and sustainable nature of this technology.
To ‘Go Beyond’, the vehicle maker has declared its 3-phase EV strategy. The company plans to offer different body styles at several accessible price points, meeting the evolving needs of EV consumers. The company has already showcased future concepts at the Auto Expo 2023 – the Curvv, Harrier EV, Sierra EV and the Avinya. These aspirational EVs will open up new segments of customers in India.
Charging infrastructure will penetrate every corner of the country, enabling seamless mobility and ending range anxiety. More investments are expected to create a robust supply ecosystem for EVs, the company added.
