New Delhi, 04 Feb 2016: Lohia Auto Industries, the automobile division
of Rs. 600 Crore Lohia Global, today launched its new range
of innovative and technologically robust electric vehicles at the Auto Expo
2016. The company, which is a pioneer in the electric vehicles segment, also
showcased the concept of India’s first electric three wheeler at country’s largest
automobile event. The company is targeting
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 & 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 & demand across all
prominent regions.”
India’s first lithium ion battery operated electric two wheeler, “Oma Star Li”
is equipped with advanced lithium ion batteries and has a capacity to run at a
speed of 25kmpl. It comes with ergonomic seats and alloy wheels for enhanced
riding comfort and more stability. Powered with telescopic suspension and
refreshed headlamp, Oma Star will be available in four attractive colours such
as Fiery Red, Macho Black, Spirited Gray & White. Oma Star Li is priced at Rs
INR 49960 (on road price).
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 their large wheel base, heavy & 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 2 years warranty on electric rickshaws.
The
Narain passenger is priced at INR 1, 26,600 EX. SHOWROOM DELHI & Narain Cargo is priced at INR 1,23,000 EX.
SHOWROOM DELHI.
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.
The company has also showcased its first high speed electric two wheeler at
the Auto Expo. The two wheeler can clock a maximum speed of 60 km per hour
compared to the current models, which touch a maximum speed of 25 km per hour.
The much improved electric two-wheeler comes with three speed mode, disc brake,
and a peak output of 3000W. The two-wheeler will be available in both Lead acid & Lithium ion batteries.
