Key Highlights:
TIVOLT Electric Vehicles Pvt Ltd is preparing to introduce its first electric four-wheeler small commercial vehicle (e-SCV) under the Montra Electric brand. This vehicle is expected to hit the market in the coming months, as hinted by recent spy shots. TIVOLT Electric Vehicles Pvt Ltd is a venture of Murugappa Group and a subsidiary of TI Clean Mobility.
Rise of Electric Small Commercial Vehicles (e-SCVs)
The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly growing, both globally and in India. The Indian small commercial vehicle (SCV) and three-wheeler segment, in particular, is seeing one of the fastest transitions to electric mobility.
Montra Electric e-SCV Spotted During Testing
Spy images of the Montra Electric e-SCV test mule have surfaced, showcasing a camouflaged prototype with a red-tinted number plate registered in Tamil Nadu. The vehicle appears larger and more robust compared to existing SCV models, featuring modern design elements and production-ready construction.
With cutting-edge technology and sturdy performance, this e-SCV is expected to bring transformative changes to India’s mid and last-mile logistics sectors upon its launch.
Background and Ambitions
Montra Electric entered the EV space in 2022 as part of Tamil Nadu-based TI Clean Mobility. The company aims to expand its portfolio by introducing its first four-wheeler SCV. This new offering aligns with TI Clean Mobility’s mission to deliver sustainable and efficient solutions for mid and last-mile transportation.
Extensive Research and Testing
Montra Electric has invested heavily in research and testing to ensure this e-SCV meets the demands of the Indian market. Detailed information about its performance, features, and pricing is expected to be revealed soon. Once launched, it will compete with leading players like Tata Motors and Switch Mobility.
Executive Insights
Vellayan Subbiah, Executive Vice Chairman of TII, highlighted the significance of this launch. “SCV represents the largest category in the commercial vehicle segment,” he stated, emphasizing the rapid adoption of EVs in this space, aided by supportive government policies and growing demand.
