ETO Motors has launched 45 electric L5 three-wheelers with women drivers at Kalkaji metro station in New Delhi to promote sustainable last-mile connectivity. The initiative aims to promote sustainable last-mile connectivity and empower women. The launch is a result of the successful deployment of 36 electric three-wheelers (E3Ws) at Azadpur Metro-Station in December 2022.
ETO’s 360-degree Electric Mobility business model includes the E3Ws, which use green technology. It also feature safety measures for drivers and passengers, to develop green transport systems in cities. ETO plans to extend its women fleet to 200 over the next three months.
Trilux L5 category passenger E3Ws feature a 7.37 kWh capacity lithium-ion battery and has a maximum speed of 45 kmph. The battery charges to 100% in about 3.5 hours, offering an approximate range of 100 km on a single charge. Additionally, the E3Ws come equipped with industry-first safety features such as driver and passenger seat belts and a topple-free design
According to Pavan Chavali, Managing Director and CEO of ETO Motors, The initiative aligns with India’s net-zero pledge and the transition to electric mobility. He added that last-mile connectivity remains a key area, especially as the Delhi Metro gradually regains its pre-pandemic ridership levels.
In partnership with several organizations, ETO Motors aims to train 200 women drivers in Delhi and help them get certified. These organizations comprise the Transport Department of Delhi, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation, School of Driving & Training Institute, Burari (DTI), and Institute of Driving and Traffic Research (IDTR). They intends to establish 5,000 charge point stations across Delhi in 12 months under the Single Window Delhi EV policy.
