JSW AMPSTAR Electric Truck 2026: 55-Tonne Electric Truck for India's Commercial Mobility
JSW Greentech has entered India's electric commercial vehicle market with its new AMPSTAR brand. Launched on September 22, 2026, AMPSTAR is focused on developing and manufacturing electric buses and trucks for Indian operating conditions. The company's first truck offering is a 55-tonne electric tractor-trailer, designed for demanding commercial haulage applications.
The AMPSTAR electric truck has been developed with an emphasis on performance, operating efficiency and reduced dependence on diesel. JSW Greentech says the vehicles will use its own electric drivetrain logic, software and algorithms, while the company is also developing an integrated ecosystem covering charging, financing, fleet operations and after-sales support.
JSW AMPSTAR Electric Truck 2026: Key Highlights
The first AMPSTAR truck is a 55-tonne tractor-trailer. The truck is offered in different configurations, including 4x2 and 6x4 tractor-trailer versions, while the company has also outlined plans for electric tippers and fixed-body dumpers.
According to AMPSTAR's current product information, the 55T truck uses a 420 kW peak motor, a 282 kWh LFP battery and produces 2,600 Nm of peak torque. The truck is designed for demanding haulage operations and features a high-strength chassis and battery cooling system.
Battery and Electric Powertrain
The AMPSTAR 55T truck uses LFP battery technology. The current truck specification lists a 282 kWh battery pack and supports electric commercial operations without a conventional diesel powertrain. JSW has also been working on battery-swapping and fixed-charging solutions to provide operators with greater flexibility.
The company has developed important parts of the electric drivetrain and its control software in-house. This approach is intended to help JSW customise the vehicle platform for Indian roads, climate and commercial operating conditions.
Manufacturing in Maharashtra
AMPSTAR electric trucks and buses are planned to be manufactured at JSW Greentech's 90-acre integrated EV manufacturing facility in AURIC, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. The facility is planned with an annual capacity of up to 15,000 electric buses and trucks, including a dedicated automated truck-cabin production line and battery ecosystem.
Full Electric Commercial Mobility Ecosystem
JSW is positioning AMPSTAR as more than just an electric vehicle brand. The company plans to combine vehicles with charging infrastructure, financing, fleet operations, maintenance and Battery as a Service options.
Customers can have different ownership and operating models, including outright purchase, leasing and usage-based solutions. This approach is aimed at reducing the challenges that fleet operators can face when moving from diesel trucks to electric commercial vehicles.
Future AMPSTAR Truck Range
The 55-tonne tractor-trailer is only the beginning of the AMPSTAR truck portfolio. JSW Greentech has stated that it plans to expand the range with electric tippers and fixed-body dumpers in the coming months. The company is therefore targeting multiple segments of India's heavy commercial vehicle market.
Conclusion
The JSW AMPSTAR Electric Truck 2026 represents JSW Group's entry into India's electric heavy commercial vehicle market. With a 55-tonne tractor-trailer, 420 kW peak motor, 282 kWh LFP battery and a planned manufacturing ecosystem in Maharashtra, AMPSTAR is targeting the transition toward cleaner and more efficient commercial transportation. Future electric tippers and fixed-body dumpers could further expand the brand's presence in India's commercial vehicle sector.
