Super Auto platform is engineered for
high-performance in emerging market conditions
Montra
Electric, India's full-spectrum electric
commercial vehicle brand, has initiated its international expansion with the
rollout of its Super Auto platform across Nepal, Tanzania, and West Africa. The
company flagged off its first export consignment to Nepal, alongside shipments
to Tanzania. It has confirmed orders across West Africa, signalling robust
demand for sustainable
mobility solutions in emerging markets.
As part of its global
roadmap, Montra Electric is evaluating multiple high-potential markets across
Asia, Africa, and other emerging regions, prioritising geographies with
supportive EV policies, favourable operating economics, and growing demand for
last-mile mobility solutions.
Speaking on the company's
global expansion, Mr. Arun Murugappan, Chairman, Montra Electric (TI Clean
Mobility Pvt. Ltd.), said, "Montra Electric's entry into Nepal with
the Super Auto reflects the Group's long-standing belief that engineering
excellence must serve real, on-ground needs, whether it is a farmer, a fleet
operator, or a nation's own energy ambitions. Our range is built to serve every
stretch of that journey, from first-mile to last-mile mobility. Nepal's
renewable energy strength and Montra Electric's mobility innovation make this a
natural, mutually reinforcing partnership, and one we see as a template for how
Indian engineering can support sustainable growth across our neighbouring
economies."
Mr. Jalaj
Gupta, Managing Director, Montra Electric (TI Clean Mobility Pvt. Ltd.),
said, “Nepal represents a defining moment in Montra Electric's
transformation from a domestic leader to a global force in sustainable
mobility. We've always engineered solutions that tackle real-world challenges.
By leveraging Nepal's abundant hydropower, we're demonstrating how Indian
innovation can help neighbouring economies build cleaner, more self-reliant
growth while reducing dependence on fossil fuels."
Montra Electric's
international strategy is anchored in duty-cycle-driven product development,
leveraging real-world usage insights to design vehicles for specific operating
conditions. This approach delivers higher uptime, improved efficiency, and
better earning potential for operators—making solutions highly relevant across
diverse global markets. The company aims to build a strong international
presence by scaling its product portfolio and ecosystem capabilities across
high-growth EV markets.
Nepal emerges as a strong
entry market, driven by supportive EV policies, rising fuel costs, and access
to affordable hydropower. Electric 3-wheelers are becoming commercially viable
for last-mile operators, offering lower operating costs and reduced fossil fuel
dependence. The Super Auto will be available at NPR 8,64,900 in Nepal market.
Built for such demanding
environments, the Super Auto is engineered to deliver reliable performance
across steep and uneven terrain. It features high gradeability and Hill Hold
Assist, enabling better control and safety on inclines.
Powered by a 9 kWh battery
pack, paired with a PMSM motor, the Super Auto delivers class leading torque of
60 Nm. The vehicle offers an optimal driving range of 150 km on a single charge
and a top speed of 55 kmph. Its 4.5-hour charging capability supports higher
daily utilisation, while multiple drive modes enable adaptability across
varying load and road conditions. The modes enable smoother power delivery,
eliminating the jarring shifts typical of conventional gear-based vehicles.
The vehicle also features a
fully digital instrument cluster, ergonomic dual-tone seating, and a spacious
cabin with enhanced headroom and legroom. Its windshield and roof design help
improve passenger comfort across varied operating environments.
With this expansion, Montra
Electric aims to build a strong international footprint, leveraging its
product portfolio and ecosystem capabilities to scale across high-growth EV
markets globally.
