Jupiter Electric Mobility launches two commercial EVs

Jupiter Electric Mobility on Thursday launched two commercial electric vehicles which will hit the markets by mid of this year. The company is a subsidiary of Jupiter Wagons Ltd (JWL), manufacturer of wagons, high-speed brake systems, and railway and engineering equipment.

The company has formed a joint venture with EA GreenPower Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenPower Motor Company Inc, a publicly listed firm in the US and Canada specialising in electric commercial vehicles in the passenger transportation and freight transport markets. The two EVs — Jupiter TEZ (2.2 ton) and EV STar CC (7 ton) — will help meet the pressing needs of the country, JWL managing director Vivek Lohia said at the Auto Expo 2023 here.
