Lohia Auto Industries, the automobile division of Rs. 600 Crore Lohia Global, launched its new range of innovative and technologically robust electric vehicles at the Auto Show. The company, which is a pioneer in the electric vehicles segment, also showcased the concept of India’s first electric three wheeler at the country’s largest automobile event. The company is targeting a revenue of Rs. 100 crore during the current fiscal.
Present on the occasion, Mr. Ayush Lohia, CEO Lohia Auto Industries said, “With the launch of our new range of e-vehicles, we aim to further boost safety, comfort, convenience and last-mile connectivity for our customers by providing them safe and cost effective transport solutions. At the same time, we aim to do our bit to safeguard the environment and bring down emission of harmful fumes in the country. These new additions to our stable will augment our share in the ever-growing electric vehicle market, which has the potential to emerge as a sound alternative to fossil fuel driven vehicles and create sustainable mobility solutions.”
He further added, “We are confident that like our previous vehicles, these technologically advanced electric vehicles will also find a significant market, and generate measurable interest and demand across all prominent regions.”
Powered by 1,950 watt motor and equipped with higher battery capacity, “Narain” & “Narain Lc”are Eco-Friendly Electric Rickshaws (e-rickshaws) for both passengers and cargo respectively. In addition to the good looks, attractive interiors, custom fittings and exceptional finish, Narain can accommodate four passengers at a time and are completely built in India. These rickshaws are low-maintenance, easy to operate and cost much less than the traditional auto-rickshaws and battery-pulled three-wheelers. Given its large wheel base, heavy and sturdy chassis, these e-rickshaws are stable and can comfortably ply even on sub-standards roads. Lohia Auto has also become the first company to offer two years warranty on electric rickshaws.
Given the urgent need to combat rising pollution levels in India’s big cities, Lohia Auto has also showcased India’s first concept e-three wheeler at the Auto Expo. So far, three wheelers either run on diesel or compressed natural gas. The shift to e-three wheelers will go a long way in curbing emission of harmful gases. The three-wheeler comes equipped with 5.7 KW motor and has the capacity to seat 3 passengers.
