It looks like the passenger vehicle segment isn’t the only one facing electrification
The new Euler T1250 electric mini truck has arrived to challenge the Tata Ace EV. These two are commercial EVs which are budget-friendly and aim to achieve the goal of last-mile delivery for top companies. These products are able to reach even the remote parts of the country with relative ease. Hence, this segment, in the ICE category, has been growing exponentially in the last few years. As the industry moves towards electrification, it is understandable that we will keep getting new electric vehicles in this segment too. Let us take a look at the details of this EV.
Euler T1250 Electric Mini Truck
We recently got an opportunity to get our hands on this impressive EV as a part of the media drive. The overall impressions are majorly positive. The Euler T1250 comes equipped with some clever amenities to make the lives of the owners easier. For instance, the LED DRLs at the front double up as the battery health status indicator during charging. The users can know from afar how much the battery has been charged. Apart from that, it has become the first 4-wheeler electric commercial vehicle with ADAS in the country. That points to the fact that the company has focused heavily on the safety of the driver and passengers. With a capacity of 1,250 kg and a range of 140 km (real-world), it surely poses an impressive proposition.
When we got inside the cabin, we were greeted by a reverse parking camera and a 10-inch touchscreen display for infotainment. That lends it a premium vibe. It has a decent ground clearance of 175 mm and the fast charger juices up the battery for 100 km of range in just 30 minutes. The peak power and torque outputs stand at a decent 30 kW (41 PS) and 140 Nm, respectively. It gets a liquid-cooled battery pack, electronic power steering and 2 chargers – 3.3 kWh and 6.6 kWh. For enhanced convenience, it gets AC and sleeping seats with headrest, dashcam, digital lock, night vision assist, offline maps and front collision alert. All in all, the Euler T1250 has to be among the most well-kitted products in this space.
My View
The new electric mini truck is here to shake up the market. As the competition in the passenger electric vehicle segment is rising rapidly, it is also increasing in commercial vehicle categories. Clearly, the time for electric mobility has arrived. As a consequence, we are witnessing every pocket of the industry incorporating it into the mix. It remains to be seen how well customers respond to the increased competition. One thing is for sure, they will have a lot of options going forward.
