Mahindra e Supro
Mahindra announced that it will launch India’s
first electric cargo and passenger van, the Mahindra e Supro on October 6,
2016. The e Supro made its debut at the Auto Expo this year and was showcased
at the biennial event in the passenger-carrying variant.
The Mahindra e Supro at the Auto Expo was announced
to be powered by a 73.2V AC induction motor that made 40.2 hp at 3,000
rpm and produced a peak torque of 90 Nm till 3,000 rpm. The 8-seater featured
disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
Similar to the regular Supro, the e Supro measures
3,798 mm in length, 1,540 mm in width, and 1,922 mm in height. The vehicle has
a wheelbase of 1,950 mm, and was shod with 165/70-R13 tubeless tyres at the
show.
The Mahindra e Supro at the show
looked identical to the regular Supro, save for a chrome band on the grille,
five-spoke alloy wheels and blue body graphics. Though the e Supro is yet to
launch, the FAME-India scheme’s website (a government-run website) lists the e
Supro Cargo van with an incentive amount of INR 1.87 lakhs.
