Zero21 unveils 2 new high-speed electric 3-wheelers at Zaheerabad plant

The first new product of Zero21 Teer is a high-speed passenger three wheeler that offers rated power of 5000W (5kW) and peak power of up to 8.5kW. The 48 V electric three-wheeler generates peak torque of 72Nm and gives a range of up to 110 km on a single charge with a top speed of 55 km/ hr. The second product Smart Mule-X is a high-speed goods carrier that has a rated power of 8000W (8kW) and peak power of up to 9kW. The 72 V electric three-wheeler generates peak torque of 97Nm and gives a range of up to 125 km on a single charge with a top speed of 55 km/ hr and has a payload capacity of 750 kg.

Rani Srinivas, Founder and CEO of Zero21 said, “The addition of Teer and Smart Mule-X, would substantially widen our product portfolio, which consisted of our high-speed ReNEW conversion kit and low-speed category vehicles like Smart Mule Cargo and Smart Mule Passenger. While most electric three wheelers have been primarily low speed, we expect growth to pick up in the high-speed market and thus these two products are crucial for us as we look forward to playing a crucial role in the India’s transition to clean mobility in line with our vision to be recognised as the most viable change accelerator, in 3 wheeler transportation, towards a green future with ZERO carbon emissions.”

Having returned to India after working in the US with Tesla Motors, Rani Srinivas elaborates on the company’s emphasis on three wheelers, “India has tremendous demand for commuter and logistics transportation which is effectively serviced by three wheelers across various cities. However, there has not been much innovation in the segment. We at Zero21 want to rapidly transform this segment and introduce features and service solutions that changes the way that we perceive such commutes while at the same time empowering the drivers and fleet owners with ergonomically designed features and safety that would truly enhance the quality of their lives.”
