Tata Motors Ltd. (Commercial Vehicles) has released its millionth commercial vehicle in the Lucknow plant, which represents a notable step-up in terms of scale with regards to its electric and hydrogen-fueled four-wheelers.
The vehicle, a zero-emission electric bus was inaugurated by Tata Sons Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran and Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The milestone is a part of the company's move towards "green mobility", having set a target of net-zero emisions by 2045.
The Lucknow plant was established in 1992, and has grown from a regional assembly point, into a technologically advanced production facility that spans 600 acres.
