Euler Motors has unveiled two new models of the Storm EV electric cargo vehicles, catering to both intercity and intracity transportation needs. The Storm EV LongRange 200, designed for intercity use, offers a remarkable real range of 200 kilometers, making it well-suited for cargo mobility between nearby cities. On the other hand, the Storm EV Intracity model, with a real range of 140 kilometers, is tailored for intracity usage. Both models boast a 1250 Kg payload capacity and introduce the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for the first time in the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment in India, along with several other segment-first features.
The Storm EV LongRange 200, priced at ₹12.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), is equipped with CCS fast charging, facilitating a 100 km range in just 15 minutes of charging. It features a 10 ft body length, 330 Cft volumetric capacity, and an 8-leaf rear suspension for smoother transportation of cargo. On the other hand, the Storm EV Intracity model, competitively priced at ₹8.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), offers the DC001 fast-charging protocol, providing a 100 km range in 30 minutes of charging. It comes in two variants to carry dense or regular loads, with the armoured variant featuring a segment-first 4 mm armoured skateboard chassis and an 8-leaf rear suspension for enhanced safety during cargo transport.
In terms of safety features, both models introduce the Night Vision Assist (NVA) and front and reverse camera collision alert capabilities, enhancing on-road safety for drivers. Additionally, the vehicles are equipped with the Shepherd App, a dedicated mobile/web app to track vehicle location, book the nearest charging station, and receive maintenance alerts. The Storm EV also offers a segment-first digital lock system via a single tap to prevent cargo theft and an anti-theft lock to immobilize the vehicle in case of theft, increasing the chances of quick vehicle retrieval.
