Euler Motors Launches Turbo EV 1000 in Chennai with Segment-First Features
Chennai: Euler Motors, a pioneer in electric commercial mobility, unveiled the Euler Turbo EV 1000 — the world’s first 1-tonne electric mini truck — in Chennai. Purpose-built for the city’s demanding transport routes and experienced drivers, the Turbo EV 1000 is designed to deliver high payload capacity, superior range, and significant cost savings.
Priced from ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Turbo EV 1000 is the most affordable 1-tonne electric vehicle globally. It offers a certified payload of 1 tonne, a real-world range of 140–170 km, and up to ₹1.15 lakh in annual savings compared to diesel alternatives. With this launch, Euler Motors aims to redefine urban freight mobility and empower Chennai’s commercial operators with a cleaner, more profitable solution.
Chennai’s commercial vehicle landscape, traditionally dominated by diesel, is witnessing a shift toward sustainable and cost-efficient alternatives. Rising fuel prices, growing awareness of EV technology, and supportive policies have encouraged businesses and fleet owners to explore electric options. The Turbo EV 1000 addresses these evolving needs with a combination of performance, durability, and affordability.
The vehicle features segment-leading specifications including 140 Nm torque, 230 mm disc brakes, and an R13 wheel platform — the highest in its class. It also supports CCS2 fast charging, delivering a 50 km range in just 15 minutes at public charging stations. Built on a rugged 2.5 mm ladder frame with IP67-rated battery and electronics, and laser-welded battery modules, the Turbo EV 1000 ensures reliability and reduced downtime, enabling drivers to complete more trips and boost daily earnings.
Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO of Euler Motors, commented, “Chennai, often hailed as the ‘Detroit of India,’ is now leading the transition to electric mobility. With its strong commercial base and forward-looking policies, the city is the ideal launchpad for the Turbo EV 1000. This vehicle is engineered to meet the real-world needs of Chennai’s drivers — delivering performance, durability, and profitability.”
The Turbo EV 1000 is Euler Motors’ third product and its second four-wheeler commercial vehicle, following the Storm EV. It is available in three variants — CITY, FAST CHARGE, and MAXX — priced at ₹5,99,999, ₹8,19,999, and ₹7,19,999 respectively. Easy EMI options start at ₹10,000/month with a down payment of ₹49,999.
With nine segment-first innovations and a design tailored to urban logistics, the Turbo EV 1000 marks a significant milestone in India’s electric vehicle journey — offering a dependable, high-performance alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles and paving the way for sustainable profitability
