Delivering operational savings of nearly ???55 lakh for fleet operators over the vehicle’s lifetime, with a payback period of just 5.2 years.
For a 12-tonne electric MDT with an 80-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery, the initial capital cost is higher but pays back through operational savings. The lower cost of electricity and reduced maintenance expenses lead to cumulative savings of over ???55 lakh, making the electric MDT economically viable with a short payback period of 5.2 years. This serves as a testament to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of electric MDTs in regional transport.
