A key advantage of the Udaan Auto Xu3 is its significantly lower running cost, at less than Re1 per kilometer, compared to traditional vehicles, which range from Rs.4 to Rs.9 per kilometer. Additionally, the maintenance and service costs are negligible compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, making the Udaan Auto Xu3 an economically sound choice for drivers and operators.
Speaking about the launch, Mitull Batraa, CEO & Co-Founder of Udaan E Vehicles, stated, “The Udaan Auto Xu3 marks a significant milestone in our mission to deliver sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. As our first entry into the auto rickshaw market, it paves the way for a complete product line that will soon include solutions for rural markets and goods carriage. With its innovative design and advanced technology, the Udaan Auto Xu3 sets a new standard for electric auto rickshaws, addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly last-mile connectivity.”
The Udaan Auto Xu3 is particularly aimed at addressing the growing demand for sustainable transportation options in cities facing last-mile connectivity challenges. With its lower ownership cost, minimal maintenance, and negligible service requirements, the Udaan Auto Xu3 offers a compelling alternative to traditional gasoline-powered rickshaws. Furthermore, its design emphasizes comfort and convenience, making it easy to drive and light on the hands, with best-in-class suspension for a smooth ride.
The Udaan Auto Xu3, set for release in March 2025, is expected to open new markets across India and beyond. Udaan E Vehicles also plans to expand into rural mobility solutions and goods transport. This launch is part of the company’s broader strategy to grow both within India and internationally, laying the foundation for a full range of electric rickshaws to meet various transportation needs.
