ETO Motors deploys 50 three-wheelers in India’s first EV city

ETO Motors has put over 50 electric three-wheelers into operation in Kevadia, which is India’s sole EV-only city. Kevadia is home to the world’s tallest statue – the Statue of Unity – of India’s first deputy prime minister and home minister Bharat Ratna Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

The entire fleet of the 50 TriLux electric three-wheelers is operated by women and will cover all of Kevadia.  ETO deployed its L5 Electric Passenger Three Wheelers called Trilux in Kevadia. The Trilux has a range of 138km per charge, has a safety belt for both passengers and driver, ergonomically adjustable driver seat, rear crash guard, 13-inch wheels and a sturdy suspension.

We are also happy to collaborate with the Statue of Unity Area Development and Tourism Governance Authority (SOUADTGA) in giving wings to this vision by our Prime Minister.”
