With a slew of technologically advanced concept products, systems and solutions and the existing range of electric vehicles, Mahindra is all poised to take electric mobility to the next level and redefine the mobility landscape of the future.

All New Concepts & Solutions

UDO – The UDO is a compact two-seater Concept Electric mobility pod which has been conceptualized to address the issues that plague urban mobility, including traffic congestion and pollution. The UDO is targeted at the tech savvy urban citizen and offers an enclosed architecture with micro climate control, lighting, touch-screen infotainment and blue-tooth enabled audio systems, insulating the urban commuter from the harshness of the urban environment. It is designed to slash congestion and emissions, and also features a “smart fitness” mode which allows commuters to work out while commuting, via a ‘smart cycling’ feature. Moreover, the battery recharges as you pedal, thereby extending the UDO’s range in an environment-friendly manner. Its unique ‘tadpole’ construction also eliminates the need to balance the vehicle with one’s feet, unlike motorbikes or cycles.

ATOM – A futuristic and new age urban mobility concept for a smart India, ATOM is a unique object of mobility designed to cater to varied passenger needs with the perfect blend of ‘Convenience, Comfort and Intelligence’.. It aims to reimagine last-mile connectivity, thereby changing the face of public transportation, while its minimalist design philosophy allows it to retain a compact footprint without compromising on interior space

It is powered by Mahindra’s new electric Powertrain which features batteries that can be swapped to extend the vehicle’s range, allowing it to operate uninterrupted for long hours. The ATOM is a key feature of Mahindra’s mobility vision for India, giving the country its own, indigenously-built, last-mile urban mobility solution. It is also equipped with an intelligent connectivity system, making bookings and payments seamless and easy. At the same time its smart technology allows one to seamlessly connect with multiple transport modes, keeping passengers posted on the next departing train, bus or flight and the nearest boarding points on a real-time basis, apart from a host of safety and convenience features.

e-KUV100 –  As India’s first electric SUV, the e-KUV100 heralds a new generation of EVs. Staying true to Mahindra’s lineage of Sports Utility Vehicles, the e-KUV100 combines the benefits of an SUV with the unique advantage of an electric vehicle. At the core of this eco-friendly vehicle lies a city-friendly motor. It boasts a range of over 140 km, and optional fast charging which can extend its range by 80% in less than an hour. Its unique SUV design coupled with a compact footprint means it can go anywhere, while its silent drive coupled with auto transmission offers a relaxing and fatigue-free drive in chaotic city traffic. The future is not only electric but also connected. The e-KUV100, thus, boasts smart phone connectivity, remote diagnostics, cabin pre-cooling, location tracking and it even monitors your driving pattern and battery status. As the SUV of the future, the e-KUV100 is nothing short of an object of desire!

Treo – Mahindra’s first low maintenance Li-thium ion battery powered three wheeler is aptly named Treo. This vehicle aims to promote mass adoption of electric vehicles in the country. The Treo will facilitate last mile movement and connectivity in tier 1 as well as tier 2 and 3 cities.

Mahindra is thus today, uniquely positioned to embrace the electric future, having completed over 50 million electric kilometres. Together, the e2o and e2oPlus electric cars have contributed to a saving of 25,00,000 kg of carbon dioxide emissions into the environment which is the equivalent of planting 2,50,000 new trees.
