Mahindra’s EV 3W Playbook: UDO, 200 km Range & 50% Electrification Target I Autocar Professional

Описание: In this exclusive conversation, Suman Mishra, MD & CEO of Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, breaks down Mahindra’s bold push in electric three-wheelers with the launch of the UDO.

She tells Autocar Professional's Prerna Lidhoo how the UDO becomes the first electric three-wheeler in the L5 segment, delivering over 200 km of real-world range and why features like reverse throttle, hill-hold assist, and creep mode are game-changers for rider comfort, especially in bumper-to-bumper city traffic.

The discussion also dives into why electric 3Ws are increasingly being adopted by first-time users, how EV penetration in the segment has already crossed 35% and why stronger competition could accelerate electrification to 50% within the next two years. Mishra also touches upon design as a key differentiator in this emerging category and hints at feature upgrades across Mahindra’s wider last-mile portfolio.
