<p dir="ltr">The Tata Ace EV 1000 is India&rsquo;s first electric mini truck with a 1000 kg payload, launched by Tata Motors. Among Tata trucks and Tata commercial trucks, this model stands out as a commercial vehicle tailored for last-mile urban cargo transport. It aims to deliver affordability (through lower running costs), durability (strong build, heavy-duty chassis), and profitability (efficient operations, savings on fuel and maintenance). For small businesses, delivery services, and fleet operators, Tata Ace EV 1000 represents a shift to electric commercial vehicles without compromising on utility.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Performance</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">The Ace EV 1000 performance is driven by a 27 kW (36 HP) electric motor producing 130 Nm torque at 2000 rpm; this provides decent punch for urban duties. The vehicle achieves an ARAI-certified range of 161 km on a single charge under standard conditions, enabling full day&rsquo;s delivery work in many city routes. Gradeability is rated at 20%, so it can handle moderate inclines well. With a maximum speed of about 60 kmph and a single-speed gearbox, the driving experience is straightforward and low effort. Regenerative braking while braking, coasting, and downhill helps recover energy and increase efficiency.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Specifications</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">The Tata Ace EV 1000 specifications make it one of the most practical electric commercial vehicles in the Indian mini-truck segment. It is powered by a 27 kW (36 HP) electric motor generating 130 Nm torque at 2000 rpm, paired with a 21.3 kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery.

With a payload capacity of 1000 kg, a GVW of 2120 kg, and a compact turning radius of 4.3 metres, it is designed for urban maneuverability.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Features</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">The Tata Ace EV 1000 is equipped with a 21.3 kWh LFP battery, offering a certified range of 161 km per charge with fast charging from 10&ndash;80% in just 105 minutes. It carries a payload of 1000 kg on a strong chassis with 13-inch tyres and reliable suspension, ensuring stability under heavy loads. The cabin is driver-friendly with ergonomic seating, ample legroom, headrests, and a digital instrument cluster for easy monitoring. Regenerative braking improves efficiency, while the FleetEdge telematics system allows real-time tracking and fleet management. Safety is enhanced with hydraulic brakes and a liquid-cooled battery for durability. Tata also provides a 7-year/175,000 km battery warranty and 3-year/1,25,000 km vehicle warranty, ensuring lower ownership costs.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Expert Review</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">From a fleet owner&rsquo;s perspective, the Tata Ace EV 1000 presents strong value in urban and semi-urban operations. Given Tata Ace EV 1000 price in India (though exact ex-showroom price depends on the state and subsidies), the lower running cost per km compared to diesel models is a major advantage. The Ace EV 1000 mileage (or rather range) of 161 km per charge caters well to daily last-mile delivery circuits without needing mid-day charging. The build is rugged, and Tata&rsquo;s service network further supports uptime. If your routes are dense, frequent stop/starts, and you&rsquo;re looking to cut operating expenses, this truck is a compelling choice.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Competitors</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">Some competing electric commercial vehicles and mini-trucks include Mahindra Treo Zor, Piaggio Ape E-Xtra, Ashok Leyland Bada Dost electric (if/when launched), etc. Compared to many, the Ace EV 1000 offers higher payload among mini electric trucks, a strong warranty, and good support infrastructure. Some rivals may have lower initial cost or simpler features, but may lag in durability, after-sales, or range. So for operators who value long-term cost savings, the Ace EV 1000 is very competitive in its segment of tata electric trucks and electric mini trucks.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Tata Ace EV 1000 powertrain comprises a single-speed gearbox paired with a 27 kW LFP electric motor delivering 130 Nm torque at 2000 rpm. This setup helps in getting quick pickup from standstill, which is crucial in traffic. The electric motor gives instant torque, reducing lag typical in many diesel trucks. Maximum speed is capped around 60 kmph, which is suitable for city and suburban roads but not high-speed highway work. The Ace EV 1000 specifications show gradeability of 20%, meaning it can handle moderate slopes even under load. Overall, the powertrain is solid for its class and role.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Tata Ace EV 1000 uses a front rigid axle with parabolic leaf springs and rear live axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. This setup is well-tested in commercial vehicles for load carrying and durability. Brakes are dual-circuit hydraulic, with regenerative braking included, helpful not only in deceleration but in improving battery efficiency. Ride comfort is improved by the suspension setup, especially over potholes and broken urban roads, although some harshness may transmit when empty. Safety is acceptable given inclusion of stable braking and mechanical design.</p>
