The last-mile mobility segment is witnessing the buyers forcing a transition. Traditional automotive companies are forced to think on their feet with new-age startups disrupting the space. They are bringing in advanced technology with a promise of lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that is best-in-class and at an affordable price with a suite of solutions to entice the buyer. Buyers on the other hand are looking to attain a net-zero emissions fleet by replacing the relatively lesser efficient vehicles.
The unconventionally built electric cargo three-wheeler OTUA attempts to meet this void. Dandera Ventures has priced it at Rs.3.5 lakh with the top variant priced at Rs.5.5 lakh (Ex-showroom) To make the deal sweeter, it is also offering the OTUA on a subscription lease basis. Kshitij Bajaj, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Dandera Ventures mentioned, "OTUA raises the bar for everything that last-mile delivery drivers and fleet owners have come to expect from a cargo EV. From world-class and industry-leading driver ergonomics and safety to outright performance in terms of range, volume, capacity."
