India’s EV maker Triton plans to set up shop in the UAE: Indian smart mobility startup Triton EV plans to set up an assembly facility in the UAE next year, its Chairman and Managing Director Himanshu Patel told Gulf Today on Tuesday. The move is in line with Triton’s interest to enter Middle Eastern markets, Patel said.

Showing off its state-of-art EV truck soon: Triton EV plans to introduce its 8.5 ton electric vehicle truck by mid-November, he said. “We are looking at mid-November 2023 to make the truck ready for showcase and this will be a great asset for the logistics sector as the 8.5 tonnes EV truck is getting developed based on acute market demand. This 8.5-tonne truck will run 300 km on a single full charge,” Patel said.

A game changer: “This product is expected to make an overwhelming impact on the commercial vehicle segment because of its robust performance capabilities. The mileage and maintenance of this 8.5 tonne electric truck will become a major game changer for the industry,” Patel said.

And that’s not all from Triton EV: The Indian smart mobility startup recently announced plans to unroll a 3.5 tonne capacity EV truck, according to Patel.
