Euler Motors, a pioneering Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has officially entered the 4-Wheeler Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) market with the launch of its cutting-edge STORM EV series. This exciting new lineup includes two innovative models, the STORM EV LongRange 200 for intercity transport and the STORM EV T1250 for intracity logistics, both featuring a 1250 kg payload capacity. With these models, Euler Motors introduces ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) in the LCV segment in India, alongside 10 other industry-first features.
A New Era in Electric Cargo Vehicles
The STORM EV LongRange 200 is designed for intercity operations, boasting an impressive Real Range (RR) of 200 km, ideal for short-haul routes like Delhi to Jaipur or Chennai to Vellore. Equipped with CCS fast-charging technology, this model can achieve 100 km of range in just 15 minutes of charging, making it a game-changer for logistics businesses. With a 10-foot body length and 330 cubic feet of cargo space, it’s built for high-volume transport, complemented by an 8-leaf rear suspension for smoother rides on varied terrains.
For intracity logistics, the STORM EV T1250 delivers a 140 km range and features an 8.2-foot body with up to 260 cubic feet of volumetric capacity. It comes in two variants—one for dense cargo and the other for regular loads. The armoured variant includes a segment-first 4 mm armoured chassis, ensuring durability and strength for heavier loads like mortar and heavy cylinders. Additionally, the DC001 fast-charging protocol provides 100 km of range within 30 minutes, further enhancing its utility in urban logistics.
Advanced Features and Driver Assistance Systems
Both STORM EV models set a new standard in the LCV segment with 11 new features, some of which even surpass those of internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. A liquid-cooled battery system powered by ArcReactor™ 200 technology ensures optimal performance in all weather conditions and extends battery life. The 30kWh battery pack is IP67-rated and AIS 38 certified, safeguarding it from dust and water.
Euler Motors also introduces a range of safety and convenience features, including the Shepherd App, which allows drivers to track their vehicle’s location, book nearby charging stations, and receive maintenance alerts. A segment-first digital lock system prevents cargo theft, and 24/7 CCTV monitoring ensures vehicle security through front and rear cameras. Other key safety features include a roll arrest bar for safer navigation during sharp turns and a regenerative braking system that improves energy efficiency by using vehicle motion to charge the battery.
Driving Modes and All-Terrain Control
The STORM EV series offers three unique driving modes tailored for different conditions:
- RANGE Mode – Maximizes efficiency during standard driving conditions.
- THUNDER Mode – Enhances acceleration, reaching speeds up to 70 km/h for overtaking.
- RHINO Mode – Provides extra torque for navigating hilly or challenging terrain.
The models also feature vacuum-assisted power brakes, a 175mm ground clearance, and electronic power steering, making them perfect for all-terrain and all-weather operations. This makes the STORM EV series ideal for short- and medium-haul transportation needs across varied landscapes.
Revolutionary Fleet Management and Driver Experience
Euler Motors enhances fleet management with real-time data through Command Centres for fleet owners and financiers, enabling better control over their investments. Additionally, the Chimera Infotainment system offers an integrated experience with navigation, entertainment, and vehicle alerts on a 7- or 10-inch display. As part of a special launch offer, drivers also receive 1GB/day of free data, ensuring seamless connectivity on the road.
Designed with drivers in mind, the vehicles offer no-gap ergonomic seating, sequential headlamps that display real-time charging levels, and even steering buttons for call reception or playing video games. The STORM EV LongRange 200 comes equipped with air conditioning, enhancing comfort during long drives.
Competitive Pricing and Warranty
Euler Motors has positioned the STORM EV series as a cost-effective solution in the LCV segment. The STORM EV LongRange 200 is priced at ₹12.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), while the STORM EV T1250 is available for ₹8.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). Both models come with an industry-first 7-year/2,00,000 km warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
The Future of Commercial EVs in India
Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO of Euler Motors, expressed his excitement about entering the LCV market: “We are thrilled to introduce the STORM EV series, which is designed to maximize customer earnings while expanding into the intercity logistics sector—an area that previously lacked EV options. The STORM EV delivers price parity with ICE vehicles and even outperforms them in efficiency, safety, and overall performance.”
He added, “Our journey has been made possible thanks to the unwavering support of our customers, partners, and investors. With the launch of the STORM EV, we believe we are not only transforming the LCV market but also contributing to cleaner air in our cities by accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles.”
The STORM EV series sets a new benchmark in the Indian LCV market, offering a versatile and advanced solution for both intra- and inter-city transport, redefining the standards of performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
