EKA Mobility Deploys 10 Electric Garbage Tippers In Goa For Municipal Waste Collection

Each electric tipper is powered by a 32 kWh lithium ferrous phosphate battery. The vehicles offer a claimed range of up to 180 km on a full charge. Charging time ranges from 6 to 8 hours.

Rohit Srivastava, Business Head & Chief Growth Officer, EKA Mobility, said, “At EKA we believe sustainability begins at the street level — in the everyday services that define our cities. This deployment with SMC is a model for how municipalities can embrace innovation to serve both people and the planet.”

The tippers have a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a payload capacity of approximately 1,000 kg. These specifications are intended to support daily municipal waste collection routes.

As part of an effort to reduce urban pollution, the electric tippers operate with zero tailpipe emissions and lower noise levels compared to conventional vehicles. They are also equipped with telematics for operational monitoring.

Siddhi S Prabhu Porob (Chairperson- SMC) & and Ms. Rashmi Dilip Desai (Former Chairperson, SMC), said “This partnership with EKA Mobility marks a pivotal moment in Sankhali’s journey towards cleaner, greener governance. These electric tippers will enhance the efficiency of waste collection and reflect our commitment to responsible and progressive urban development.”
