Lectrix Delivers 114,985 Meals on Electric Vehicles in 8 Hours
2 min read9th January 2025: On December 14, 2024, Lectrix, the e-mobility arm of the SAR Group, wrote history by achieving a monumental feat: delivering 114,985 meals in just 8 hours using a fleet of Lectrix electric vehicles, including their latest scooter model, NDuro. This groundbreaking initiative, titled “1 Lakh Meals on Lectrix Wheels,” was not just about numbers—it was a testament to the power of sustainable action to solve pressing global challenges.
In collaboration with social purpose organizations including Navodyam (an SDMC Trust initiative), the Robin Hood Army, and The Akshay Patra Foundation, Lectrix showcased how technology and sustainability can work together to solve real-world social problems. This event earned a prestigious place in the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records for the most meals delivered via electric vehicles in 8 hours.
From 10 AM to 6 PM, the capital city witnessed an extraordinary operation powered by Lectrix’s vehicles. Speaking about the initiative, Pritesh Talwar, President of EV Business, Lectrix, shared:
“At Lectrix, we believe innovation should not only drive progress but also serve humanity and the planet. This initiative was about more than breaking records; it was about demonstrating how green technology can create meaningful change. By delivering over 1 Lakh meals using electric vehicles, we proved that sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s the future. We tested how, in the future, we could roll out EVs in a pandemic or emergency scenario and reach more than a lakh people in just a few hours in a sustainable way. We invite the world to join us in embracing this vision for a greener and more equitable tomorrow.”
The operation began at Akshay Patra’s four kitchens, where thousands of meals were prepared and dispatched to 11 strategically identified hubs across Delhi. From these hubs, hundreds of Lectrix scooters, including NDuro, our recently launched electric scooter and e-loaders, sprang into action, delivering nutritious meals to 106 communities across the city. With NDuro’s 42 litres of boot space, the electric scooter was able to carry a substantial load of meals while maintaining an impressive speed and range. Nduro’s ample storage capacity proved crucial to the success of this initiative. Additionally, 500 volunteers, including Lectrix team members and the Robin Hood Army’s Robins, executed this massive operation seamlessly.
Lectrix’s initiative goes beyond numbers. It is a bold statement of the company’s vision to lead the electric mobility industry by example. By seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with social purpose, Lectrix has redefined what’s possible in the E2W space. Through this initiative, Lectrix has firmly positioned itself as not just a player in the EV market but as a leader that can drive real change.
The campaign served as a call to action for industries, governments, and communities to embrace sustainable solutions that address pressing global challenges. Lectrix’s successful operation is proof that sustainable, electric mobility can be a key player in solving not just urban challenges but also global crises.
