On August 21, 2025, in New Delhi, TVS Motor Company introduced the TVS King Kargo HD EV, a vehicle that redefines the role of the electric cargo three-wheeler in India’s logistics industry. The launch was not just another product reveal, it was a clear demonstration of how electric commercial vehicles can deliver strength, comfort, and intelligence in a single package.
TVS also introduced its new CNG bi-fuel variant at the show, which will arrive later this year and will offer operators greater freedom, especially those that would like to have the option to pair gas and petrol power with their electric fleets.
The top speed of the King Kargo HD EV is 60 km/h*, which can sound humble on paper but is very useful in actual conditions. The vehicle is sufficiently quick to cover intercity distances with effectiveness, but it is stable and safe even in heavy traffic and dense urban streets.
Its 6ft 6in cargo deck is the biggest in its class. This has practical advantages: increased payloads reduce the number of trips needed, saving time and cost of operation. For small and medium-sized enterprises, this directly enhances productivity.
The leaf spring suspension is heavy-duty thanks to its design for stability when carrying a load. Even when the vehicle is heavily laden and traversing rough roads, the suspension minimizes these shocks while ensuring balance.
TVS supports the vehicle with a 6-year or 1.5 lakh kilometer warranty. This extended period of cover is unusual within this segment and speaks volumes about the company's belief in the durability of the vehicle. For operators too, it minimizes the possibility of hefty maintenance expenditure.
The King Kargo HD EV can traverse up to 500 mm of water. This is a must-have in India, where monsoons and waterlogging frequently paralyze city transport. It implies deliveries can be made even during bad weather.
The battery of the vehicle charges completely in a period of slightly more than three hours. For operators, this means less downtime and greater daily usage. Logistics companies can have the vehicle on the road for additional hours per day. To charge 80% it only takes 2 hours 25 minutes.
The 235 mm ground clearance allows the EV to navigate through more rugged routes and speed bumps, while the low 703 mm loading height facilitates ease in loading and unloading of cargo. This is a combination that is rugged and yet easy to use.
A turning radius of 3,420 mm gives the King Kargo HD EV the ability to navigate conveniently through tight lanes and congested marketplaces. For city center last-mile deliveries, this maneuverability is crucial.
Safety always comes first. The bigger 200 mm drum brakes provide reduced stopping distances and better control, especially when the vehicle is loaded with heavy weights.
The interior is made with more robust and better plastics used in standard three-wheelers. This enhances durability and provides the driver with a more premium experience, which is hard to find in the cargo category.
The King Kargo HD EV is the first in its category to include a window regulator. The feature simplifies drivers' ability to adjust ventilation, a little thing that makes a big difference in everyday comfort.
The side mirrors can be folded as much as 90 degrees. The versatility ensures drivers can optimize for improved visibility in confined areas, making the vehicle easier to drive around congested urban areas.
The cabin is comfortable and fatigue-reducing inside. Long shifts are easier with cushioned seats, ample legroom, and an ergonomic design.
A portable handle within the cabin provides a convenient location for storing a phone. A feature that is handy for drivers who rely on navigating applications or constant communication.
The LED lighting enhances night and adverse weather visibility. It also provides a contemporary, fashionable look to the vehicle's appearance.
The King Kargo HD EV is built to withstand harsh conditions without sacrificing a modern appearance. Its shape lines blend together with its robust building to render it adequate for heavy-duty applications as well as professional presentation.
This is India's first three-wheeler to feature Bluetooth connectivity. By using TVS SmartXonnect, drivers can also access 26 features such as real-time vehicle health checks, trip information, and navigation assistance.
For companies that operate a fleet of vehicles, the TVS Connect Fleet platform is a big plus. It provides 31 features including real-time location tracking, remote asset control, alerts, reminders, and in-depth reports. The performance can be monitored by intelligent dashboards and used to improve efficiency.
All these features turn the King Kargo HD EV into a commercial vehicle as well as a connected logistics tool.
The price of TVS King Kargo HD EV is priced at ₹3.85 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Given its features, the price puts it in the same league as other electric cargo three-wheelers in the market. The EV will be initially available in the Delhi NCR (Faridabad, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad), Rajasthan, and Bengaluru markets in the first phase. The company will expand to other markets soon. The CNG bi-fuel model, although not yet on offer, will be out in the market before the end of the year. The model will be attractive to users who desire versatility between electric and CNG fuel modes.
Initial reviews point out well-manufactured interiors with mention of the quality of materials being better than rivals. The window regulator has been viewed as a segment-first feature that enhances comfort.
The adjustable mirrors have been acclaimed for safety, and the spacious cabin design with its moving handle has been called very driver-friendly. The 6ft 7in deck cargo space is cited by many as the most prominent feature, providing operators with more room than any other model within its sector. The tough yet stylish design has also received positive reactions, showing that a commercial vehicle can be tough as well as pleasing to the eye.
The TVS King Kargo HD EV demonstrates how an electric commercial vehicle can address contemporary logistics needs. With segment-leading specifications, driver-centric comfort, and cutting-edge connectivity, it does not merely transport, it provides efficiency, security, and intelligent business management. At ₹3.85 lakh, the King Kargo electric price positions it as a business-friendly yet robust option. And when the CNG bi-fuel model comes out, TVS will provide even greater flexibility to operators in India. In every way, the King Kargo HD EV justifies its moniker: rugged, intelligent, and poised to revolutionize cargo mobility.
