In a bold step aligned with evolving logistics and supply chain trends, Jupiter Wagons Limited (JWL), through its EV arm Jupiter Electric Mobility (JEM), has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Delhi-based logistics platform Pickup to accelerate the integration of electric vehicles into India’s logistics ecosystem.

This partnership is a major development in logistics and supply chain management, aiming to deploy 300 units of JEM TEZ, an electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV), into Pickkup’s fleet by year-end. With operations across NCR and tier-2 cities like Mohali and Chandigarh, Pickkup has built a scalable logistics and distribution network focused on electric mobility, using both 3W and 4W commercial EVs.

The initiative demonstrates one of the best logistics strategies for businesses aiming to achieve sustainability without compromising on performance. The initial deployment follows successful pilot testing of JEM TEZ, which exhibited a range of 190–220 km per charge making it highly reliable for both intra-city and intercity operations such as Delhi to Chandigarh.
This move supports real-time logistics planning as Pickup incorporates these EVs into its tech-driven delivery model. The integration will also assist in demand forecasting in logistics, allowing optimized route planning and improved service efficiency. With CCS2 fast-charging support and a 1050 kg payload, JEM TEZ positions itself as a game-changer in logistics chain management.



Vivek Lohia, Managing Director, Jupiter Group, stated, “This collaboration signifies our commitment to delivering high-performance, sustainable solutions in logistics. Our focus is to enable a greener and smarter supply chain that benefits both the economy and environment.”

Ankush Sharma, Co-founder and CEO of Pickkup, added, “With 30% higher range per charge and robust payload capability, JEM TEZ enhances our operational efficiency and earnings potential, especially in intercity logistics.”

Jupiter Wagons continues to diversify its offerings, spanning freight wagons, braking systems, ISO marine containers, and electric commercial vehicles. The company also provides advanced logistics services and components including lithium batteries and logistics packaging solutions to support end-to-end mobility infrastructure.
Despite a 1.8% decline in consolidated net profit (β‚Ή103.26 crore) and a 6.4% drop in revenue (β‚Ή1,044.55 crore) in Q4 FY25 compared to Q4 FY24, the company’s strategic ventures into electric mobility underline its strong long-term vision.

This alliance is a forward-thinking example of how logistics planning software and next-gen vehicles can transform India's logistics landscape, setting a benchmark in sustainable logistics chain management.
