Case Study: 40-vehicle Dairy Fleet in Pune, 98% Uptime

BACKGROUND Katraj Dairy Co-op runs 40 morning routes across Pune, serving 80,000+ homes. Rising diesel cost and new city rules on old vehicles pushed them to search for a new option. SOLUTION Trikaal EV gave 40 Hi-Cargo units with PUF-insulated cold cabins and 12V fridge units. Each vehicle covers 60-70 km per shift and charges overnight. RESULTS - 62% drop in per-km running cost (Rs 4.8 to Rs 1.8) - 98% fleet uptime after 10 months - 22 tonnes of CO2 saved per year - Break-even in 18 months KEY TAKEAWAY Low running cost + reliable range + cold-chain quality = real gain for dairy last-mile.
