New Delhi, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility on Wednesday said it has received an order to supply 2,000 units of XPRES-T electric sedan from integrated fleet electrification platform Vertelo.

The company, a unit of Tata Motors, has signed a non-binding MoU with Vertelo, managed by Macquarie, for the delivery of EV units.

The company will start delivering cars to Vertelo in a phased manner, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM) said in a statement.

With over 89 per cent market share in FY2014, the fleet segment has been increasingly adopted by corporates and institutions, the company said.

“Such collaborations in the industry will help strengthen our market position amid India’s EV revolution,” said Vive Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, TPEM.

Sandy Gambhir, CEO of Vertello, said the partnership aims to bring together two businesses that are at the forefront of fleet electrification and decarbonization in India.

In July 2021, Tata Motors launched the 'XPRES' brand exclusively for small customers, and the XPRES-T EV is the first vehicle under this brand.

The new XPRES-T electric sedan comes with 2 range options – 315 km and 277 km (ARAI certified range under test conditions).
