Montra Electric Last-Mile Mobility has taken a significant step toward sustainable transportation by successfully dispatching 175 units of its flagship electric three-wheeler, the ‘Super Auto,’ via rail. The shipment travelled from Tada, Andhra Pradesh, to Siliguri, West Bengal—marking the company’s first large-scale railway consignment. This eco-friendly logistics initiative ensures that dealerships across North and North-East India are well-stocked to meet the surge in demand during the festive season.
The strategic shift to rail underscores Montra Electric’s commitment to sustainability and smarter logistics. Transporting the same consignment by road would have required 17–18 truck trips and 12–14 days of transit. By consolidating the load into a single rail movement, the company reduced delivery time by over 60%, completing the journey in under five days, while also cutting an estimated ~15,800 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. In addition, the move lowered overall logistics costs by up to 30%, eliminated customer waiting time during the festive rush, and helped ease congestion on highways.
A dedicated warehouse facility in Siliguri has been designated to hold the dispatched vehicles before distribution to dealerships, ensuring immediate availability of Super Autos for customers.
This initiative highlights how leveraging India’s national railway infrastructure can reshape sustainable distribution for the EV industry, delivering smarter, faster, and greener mobility solutions.
Highlighting the significance of the initiative, Deependra Sharma, CEO, Montra Electric Last-Mile Mobility, said, “At Montra Electric, sustainability is not just about our products, it is embedded in the way we work and the choices we make. By adopting smarter logistics, we have been able to significantly reduce lead times, ensuring that vehicles reach our customers faster while lowering our environmental footprint. This initiative reflects our commitment to clean mobility, operational excellence, and delivering greater value to our customers in a greener, smarter, and more efficient way.”
