Compared to other cargo carrying three-wheelers, the Treo Zor boasts a longer wheelbase and larger wheels, too. In addition to that, it also has the best-in-class tray loading height of 675 mm and a maximum payload carrying capacity of 550 kg. You can opt for either a delivery van, pickup or flatbed variants of the Treo Zor.
The 3-wheeler is powered by an 8 kW IP67 rated electric motor that generates 42 Nm and is mated to an automatic transmission. It comes with a lithium-ion battery that the company claims, offers a driving range of 125 km on a single charge. The battery can be charged using a 15 amp socket.
Mahindra Electric claims that the new e-three wheeler vehicle offers savings of over ₹60,000 a year, compared to the existing diesel cargo 3-wheelers, owing to its low maintenance cost. The company claims that the EV can run at just 40 paise per km.
