Three e-cars deployed at VOC Port, making it first major port to deploy electric vehicles

The initiative is part of the Ministry of Port’s vision to induct clean fuel strategies and reduce emission at the Port, chairman T. K. Ramachandran said

The VOC Port Trust has become the first major port in the country to deploy e-cars. It has inducted three Tata Xpres-T electric vehicles in the first phase. Port Chairman, T. K. Ramachandran, flagged off the e-vehicles (EVs) in the presence of Bimal Kumar Jha, Deputy Chairman, V. Suresh Babu, Chief Mechanical Engineer, and other senior officials at the administrative office on Wednesday. Executive vice president, EESL Group, virtually joined the event. The public sector undertaking joint venture, under the Ministry of Power, has supplied these vehicles on lease for six years. A similar number of vehicles will get inducted in the near future.
