The EKA 55 T costs about Rs 54 lakh to Rs 55 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 200 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 43,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 55,000 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.

Gross vehicle weight is 55,000 kg, or about 55 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. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 6 Speed automatic gearbox. An automatic is easier in stop-start city traffic and takes less out of the driver on a long day.
Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.
It has 10 tyres in a 6x4 layout. Tyre size is 295/90 R20 16PR.
EKA 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.
