Tata Unveils Tata Ace EV: Electric Cargo Vehicles for Sustainable Transport
TATA ACE EV: A Game-Changer in Urban Commercial Mobility
The TATA ACE EV emerges as a pioneering electric vehicle in the commercial segment. It offers a blend of efficiency and reliability tailored for urban logistics and cargo transport. At the heart of the ACE EV’s powertrain is a 27 kW electric motor, providing a balance between performance and energy efficiency. A 21.3 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery powers this motor, known for its durability and safety. Consequently, this combination ensures a range of 154 kilometres on a single charge. It caters to the daily needs of urban deliveries without the anxiety of frequent recharging.
Charging Capabilities
The ACE EV offers flexibility in charging. It supports both AC home charging and DC fast charging. For example, the CCS Type 2 AC charger replenishes the battery in 6 to 7 hours. This makes overnight charging a convenient routine. As a result, businesses can start each day with a full battery, without interrupting operations.
Performance and Handling
TATA has engineered the ACE EV to meet the demands of city driving. It features a ground clearance of 160 mm, allowing easy movement through rough roads. The top speed of 60 km/h suits urban traffic conditions well. In addition, with 130 N.m of torque, the vehicle can handle cargo loads effectively. The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) system provides better traction and control, especially when fully loaded.
Dimensions and Payload Capacity
The ACE EV’s compact size boosts utility and manoeuvrability. It measures 3800 mm in length, 2235 mm in height, and 1500 mm in width. The 2100 mm wheelbase offers a stable ride. With a curb weight of 1240 kg, it balances vehicle efficiency with payload capability. Moreover, the cargo box measures 1450 mm in height, 1410 mm in width, and 2125 mm in length. It supports a maximum payload of 650 kg, making it ideal for urban goods transport.
Safety and Durability
TATA has equipped the ACE EV with durable features for long-term reliability. The battery and electrical components are IP67-rated, offering protection against dust and water ingress. However, airbags are not available, which may concern safety-conscious buyers. The vehicle uses 155 R13LT 8PR tyres. It also employs front disc and rear drum brakes for dependable stopping power. Additionally, the rigid front and rear suspension with leaf springs helps maintain comfort while carrying heavy loads.
Warranty and Support
TATA offers strong warranty coverage for peace of mind. The high-voltage battery has a 6-year or 1,60,000 km warranty, whichever comes first. Furthermore, the vehicle itself includes a 3-year or 1,25,000 km warranty. These terms reflect TATA Motors’ confidence in the durability and reliability of the ACE EV.
Conclusion
The TATA ACE EV represents a significant step in commercial vehicle electrification. It blends efficiency, durability, and practical utility for businesses looking to reduce both carbon footprint and operational costs. In conclusion, with its smart design and robust performance, the ACE EV stands out as a reliable choice for urban transport.
