Electric commercial vehicle manufacturing startup, Euler Motors has launched two new models of Storm EV electric cargo vehicles. These models, the Storm EV LongRange 200 and the Storm EV T1250 are designed for intercity and intracity usage, respectively.
Each vehicle boasts a 1250 Kg payload capacity and introduces Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology to India’s Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment. With ten additional segment-first features, these vehicles aim to enhance safety, efficiency, and performance in commercial cargo transport.
Specifications
The Storm EV LongRange 200 is designed for intercity use, enabling cargo mobility between nearby cities such as Delhi and Jaipur or Chennai and Vellore. It offers an industry-leading real range (RR) of 200 kms. The CCS fast charging system allows for a 100 Km range with just 15 minutes of charging. The model features a 10 ft body length and 330 Cft volumetric capacity, complemented by an 8-leaf rear suspension that ensures smooth transport for diverse cargo, the company claimed in a media release.
In contrast, the Storm EV T1250 is suited for intracity use with a real range of 140 kms. It has a body length of 8.2 feet and offers a volumetric capacity of 220 and 260 Cft. The DC001 fast-charging protocol provides a 100 kms range with 30 minutes of charging. This model comes in two variants, catering to dense or regular loads. The variant for dense loads includes a 4 mm armoured skateboard chassis and an 8-leaf rear suspension, enhancing stability and safety. A reinforced load body floor allows for secure transport across various road conditions, the company added.
Three driving modes are available to suit different operational needs: RANGE for maximum powertrain efficiency, THUNDER for higher speeds and acceleration to overtake slower vehicles, and RHINO for torque-heavy driving in hilly or rural terrain and during adverse weather conditions. This flexibility allows the vehicles to perform efficiently across diverse environments.
The integrated Chimera Infotainment system is a segment-first feature that offers navigation, alerts, and entertainment on a 7- or 10-inch display. WhatsApp integration with maps allows drivers to receive location data, reducing the time spent finding pick-up and drop-off points. As an initial offer, Euler Motors provides free 1GB data per day for the connected vehicle.
For driver comfort, the vehicles include no-gap seating for long drives, front and rear intelligent sequential headlamps that display real-time charging levels, and steering buttons for calls and gaming. The Storm EV LongRange 200 model is even equipped with air conditioning.
Safety tech
Safety is a central focus for Euler Motors with these new models. The introduction of ADAS in the LCV segment includes features such as Night Vision Assist (NVA), and front and reverse camera collision alert capabilities. NVA facilitates clear imaging of road obstacles in low light conditions, extending safe driving hours. The camera alert system improves on-road safety by signaling potential obstacles and providing traffic light alerts.
Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO of Euler Motors said, “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.”
“Customers want to maximize 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.
Price
The Storm EV LongRange 200 is priced at INR 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), while the Storm EV T1250 comes at INR 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Euler Motors is offering an extended 7-year / 2.0 lakhs kms warranty, setting an industry-first standard. Both models aim to redefine commercial EV market standards through advanced technology, robust performance, and design while achieving price parity with comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
“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,” Kumar added.
For fleet management, the vehicles offer software-enabled solutions, including command centers for fleet owners and financiers that provide real-time data for monitoring and managing fleets. This feature provides businesses with compelling control over their operations and investments.
