Mahindra Reva announced the launch date of its next generation electric e2o vehicle in India on 18th March 2013. This Mahindra e2o vehicle powered by Reva electric car company was unveiled at the last Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of the e2o, which will mark a significant milestone in Mahindra’s automotive journey. Electric vehicles today epitomize clean and green driving and Mahindra wants to take the lead in developing this segment and its surrounding eco system. We are humbled with the kind of feedback we have received so far on the e2o, which reaffirms our conviction to remain committed and invested in this segment”, said Dr. Pawan Goenka, President, Automotive & Farm Equipment Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
He also added, “We sincerely hope that such an initiative will find the desired support and incentives from all governmental agencies that will support us in this journey of providing clean mobility solutions.”
The Mahindra e2o is the next generation global electric vehicle built on the capability of using the futuristic ecosystem of Sun2Car to derive energy from the Sun for urban mobility, while protecting and preserving the environment. The car will use next generation Lithium Ion batteries and will have a range of 100 kms on a full charge, which is suitable for most urban commuters today. The e2o will enable users to carry out self fueling through any 15 amp plug point at home or at their workplace. This can be further augmented with the help of Sun2Car solar technology.
The e2o will be produced at Mahindra Reva’s recently inaugurated production facility which is India’s first platinum certified automobile plant located at Bengaluru. It has a rated manufacturing capacity of 30,000 cars per annum.
