Tata Motors, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has officially launched the new Ace Pro mini truck series, which is available in bi-fuel (petrol-CNG) and electric (EV) variants. Designed specifically for last-mile cargo transportation, the new Ace Pro lineup is engineered to serve the growing demands of e-commerce, logistics, agriculture, FMCG, and small business owners in urban and semi-urban regions.
The Ace Pro series, displayed earlier at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, is expected to hit the market in Q2 FY2025- 26. With modular body formats, smart connectivity, and fuel-efficient powertrains, this launch strengthens Tata Motors’ commitment to sustainable and cost-effective cargo mobility in India.
