Hyderabad-based Etrio has hit the bullseye. When the company sensed a business case for electrifying light commercial vehicles plying for intracity logistics, it was well aware of the risks associated with the major strategic focal shift. In line with its vision to become a leading EV player in the segment, the company has moved a step closer to realizing its goals with the official launch of India’s first retrofitted eLCV. Built on the Tata Ace platform, it's the culmination of an over two-year journey, from prototype to commercialization. Speaking ahead of the launch, expressed Deepak MV, Co-founder, and Chief Executive Officer, Etrio, “This eLCV commercialization is our success story and the official launch is the big validation of our vision to become a leading EV player in the intracity logistics space. The competitive eLCV will soon gain ground in the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) dominated segment.” The Etrio retrofit eLCV is priced at Rs.7.75 lakh (On-Road price – Delhi). The vehicle comes with a five-year battery warranty up to 1.3 lakh kilometers and a five-year powertrain warranty up to 1.5 lakh kilometers. The company is also offering an up to one year warranty on auxiliary components to make it a sweet deal for potential customers of the niche product.
