~Engineered for Chennai’s demanding transport routes and experienced drivers who prioritize load strength and efficiency, the vehicle delivers a certified 1T payload, 140–170 km real range, and up to ₹1.15 lakh in annual savings.~

 

Chennai, 13^th October 2025 – Euler Motors, a leader in the electric commercial vehicle space, announced the launch of Euler Turbo EV 1000, a 1 Tonne 4W eCV in Chennai. The vehicle is engineered specifically for drivers and businesses who need a truck that can handle the city’s traffic, carry heavy loads, and save on daily running costs. Priced from ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Turbo EV 1000 is the world’s most affordable 1-tonne EV and delivers annual savings of ₹1.15 lakh compared to diesel counterparts. With this, Euler Turbo EV 1000 becomes the world’s first EV mini truck to offer both unmatched performance and high affordability, making it a game-changer for Chennai’s commercial operators.

Chennai’s commercial vehicle ecosystem, traditionally led by diesel, is now evolving toward cleaner, more cost-efficient, and sustainable mobility. With rising fuel costs, increasing awareness about EV technology, and a growing interest among drivers to adopt electric solutions, the city is poised for a meaningful shift. Businesses and fleet operators are increasingly recognizing the long-term value of EVs — from reduced operating costs to improved sustainability and are seeking solutions that combine reliability, performance, and robust support infrastructure

 

The Turbo EV 1000 is engineered to address exactly these needs. It is the first electric commercial vehicle in the 1-tonne segment to offer a real-world range of 140–170 km, delivering 140 Nm torque and 230 mm disc brakes on an R13 wheel platform- the highest in its class. This enables drivers to tackle demanding city roads with confidence, without compromising on safety, speed, or payload. Turbo also features CCS2

fast-charging capability, offering an industry-first 50 km range with just 15 minutes of charging at public charging stations. Its rugged 2.5 mm ladder frame, IP67-rated battery and electronics, and laser-welded battery modules ensure durability and reliability, helping drivers complete more trips, reduce downtime, and boost daily earnings.

 

By combining performance, durability, and affordability, Turbo EV 1000 fills a crucial gap in the market for small fleet owners and driver-entrepreneurs seeking a dependable, high-performance alternative to diesel and other ICE vehicles. With its attractive upfront cost, low running expense, and significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO), Turbo delivers a long-awaited leap in sustainable profitability.

 

Commenting on the launch, Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO, Euler Motors, said, "Chennai, often hailed as the ‘Detroit of India,’ has long been the heartbeat of India’s automobile industry and is now steering the shift toward electric mobility. With its strong commercial base, growing EV ecosystem, and forward-looking policies, the city offers the perfect stage for the launch of the Turbo EV 1000.

Purpose-built for Chennai’s demanding roads and high-load operations, the Turbo EV 1000 delivers the performance, durability, and profitability that local drivers and businesses need. We’re confident it will accelerate Chennai’s transition to sustainable transport and empower its driving community to lead this new era of mobility.”

 

Turbo EV 1000 boasts nine segment-first innovations and is

the third product from Euler Motors’ stable and its second 4W CV, following on the heels of its maiden 4W Storm EV. It comes in three variants: CITY, FAST CHARGE, and MAXX, available at INR 5,99,999, INR 8,19,999 and INR 7,19,999 respectively, with easy EMI options starting at ₹10,000/month and a down payment of ₹49,999.
