Throughout economic challenges, the company has maintained its focus on sustainable growth, drawing the attention of global investors who acknowledge the immense potential of Euler Motors’ HiLoad vehicle. The company continues to drive innovation, deliver customer satisfaction, post robust sales, and expand markets, positively transforming the automotive industry.

Euler Motors has been forging on with a vision of building innovative and technologically superior electric vehicles for commercial mobility. The company’s standout product, the new HiLoad EV, is India’s most powerful electric cargo three-wheeler, with the industry’s highest 13 (12.96) kWh battery pack, 170 km ARAI-certified range (Real RangeTM 100-120 km), and a 30 percent higher payload capacity (688 kg), with a proprietary liquid-cooled battery. Over the years, the company has offered immense value through innovation, cutting-edge batteries, and customer support. The company continues to expand access to the EV ecosystem via charging infrastructure, service, and financing.
