The Ashok leyland Boss 1218 HB EV costs about Rs 25 lakh to Rs 26 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
About 350 km on a full charge. Real range drops with a full load, hills and heavy traffic, so plan for a little less than the rated figure.
Rated payload is 5,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 11,900 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
It uses an electric motor rated at 187 HP with 1,065 Nm of torque. There is no engine, so no oil changes and no fuel filters.
Gross vehicle weight is 11,900 kg, or about 11.9 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for industrial goods transportation, fruits, vegetables and construction material. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with an Automatic. An automatic is easier in stop-start city traffic and takes less out of the driver on a long day.
Air conditioning is not listed as standard on this version. Some dealers fit it as an accessory, so ask for the price before you book.
It has 6 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 245/70R19.5.
Ashok Leyland gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are Ashok leyland Boss 14T EV (14,050 kg GVW, from about Rs 5 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
The Ashok leyland Boss 1218 HB EV has a GVW of 11,900 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a medium goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
