Euler Motors launches STORM EV, India’s 1st ADAS equipped electric LCV starting at INR 8.99 lakh

Each vehicle offers a payload capacity of 1,250 kg and brings Advanced Driver Assistance System technology to India’s Light Commercial Vehicle market. Equipped with ten segment-first features, these vehicles are designed to improve safety, efficiency, and performance in commercial cargo transport.

Euler Motors, a leading electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has launched two models of Storm EV electric cargo vehicles designed for intercity and intracity usage. The Storm EV LongRange 200 (intercity) and the Storm EV T1250 (intracity) both come with a 1250 Kg payload capacity, marking the company’s foray into the 4W Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment. With this, Euler Motors also introduces ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) for the first time in the LCV segment in India, along with 10 other segment-first features.

The Storm EV LongRange 200 – is the first vehicle in this segment designed for intercity use, offering an industry-leading RR (Real Range) of 200 kms to enable cargo mobility between nearby cities, e.g. from Delhi to Jaipur, or from Chennai to Vellore, etc. CCS fast charging makes it easy to access highway charging infrastructure, offering a 100 Km range in 15 minutes of charging. This is further strengthened by the 10 ft body length and 330 Cft volumetric capacity. An 8-leaf rear suspension enables smoother transport for all cargo types.

The Storm EV T1250 – made for intracity use boasts a real range of 140 kms, body length of 8.2 feet, and volumetric capacity of 220 and 260 Cft. The DC001 fast-charging protocol offers 100 kms range in 30 minutes of charging. It comes in two variants – to carry dense or regular loads. The armoured variant, for dense loads such as mortar, wood and heavy cylinders, sports a segment-first 4 mm armoured skateboard chassis and an 8-leaf rear suspension. A reinforced load body floor allows for smooth and safe cargo transport in all kinds of road conditions.

Ensuring greater safety of the driver, vehicle and goods is a key focus of Euler Motors. With Storm EV, the company introduces ADAS in the LCV segment for the first time, offering NVA (Night Vision Assist), and front and reverse camera collision alert capabilities. NVA offers clear imaging of obstacles on the road even in pitch darkness – thereby allowing drivers to safely extend their driving time to complete important deliveries. The camera alert capabilities provide greater on-road safety by alerting to potential obstacles and traffic light alerts.

Developed with inputs from 4W commercial vehicle owners across India, the Storm EV T1250, in true Euler Motors style, introduces 11 new features to the LCV segment, some even among ICE counterparts, all of which enable customers to maximise earnings, provide good TCO and ensure high safety.

“We are excited to enter the 4W LCV segment with EV models that will maximise customer earnings every day, and also allow them to extend their operations into the intercity segment – a sector hitherto lacking an EV product.”, said Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO of Euler Motors. “Customers want to maximise earnings without paying a massive premium over ICE vehicles. Not only does Storm EV deliver price parity with its ICE counterparts – but also beats it – by offering capabilities and design that exceed performance, efficiency and safety benchmarks.”, he added.

The Storm EV LongRange 200 is priced at ₹12.99 Lakhs (ex- showroom Delhi), while the Storm EV T1250 is priced competitively at ₹8.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). Euler Motors also offers an industry-first extended 7-year / 2.0 Lakhs kms warranty. Both models redefine standards in the commercial EV market with advanced technology, robust performance, and design, providing a versatile solution for heavy-load, intra- and inter-city transport while achieving price parity with comparable ICE contenders.

“I am grateful to our customers, partners and investors who have stood by us, and who have helped us to think out of the box. Because of this, the Storm EV will be the most technologically sophisticated and the best performing 4W LCV on Indian roads today. We believe this will spur EV penetration in the LCV segment and grow it from the current 1.1 % levels. An immediately tangible benefit of this shift will be cleaner air in our cities.”, added Saurav.
