Euler Motors, a leading electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, recently unveiled its commercial EV manufacturing and R&D facility in the industrial hub of Palwal, Haryana. Spanning 5 lakh sq. ft., the plant has a production capacity of 36,000 vehicles annually. Built with an investment of Rs 100 crore, the factory will serve as Euler Motors' national manufacturing hub, catering to the rising demand for its 3W HiLoad EV from across the country. The company plans to expand its footprint from 26 to 40 cities by FY25.
The facility boasts an automated assembly line connected via a proprietary manufacturing execution system (MES), which drives production efficiencies by tracking the vehicle lifecycle from production to delivery. Additionally, the facility has the highest parameters for commercial vehicle testing, including dyno-testing, fully compliant shower testing, and a full-length testing track.
The plant houses a dedicated testing and validation team, advanced R&D labs, and collaborations with engineering experts, fostering a culture of continuous innovation.
"The ongoing transformation in the mobility segment in India can only be fully realised with strong local production and localised innovation. The facility is not only an exemplification of the government's Make in India initiative, but also brings technological advancements and industry-first features to commercial EV manufacturing," said Saurav Kumar, Founder & CEO, Euler Motors.
"With such a strong supplier network in the vicinity, Palwal was naturally the ideal location for us. As we expand into new markets and aim to achieve 15 per cent growth in FY25, this state-of-the-art facility will help us respond to the increased customer demand and adapt to changes in processes and products with agility and flexibility. It will also strengthen the company's position as a trusted and leading player in the Indian commercial EV segment," he added.
Gaurav Kumar, Head of Supply Chain & Manufacturing at Euler Motors, added, "Our new factory represents a significant leap in manufacturing commercial 3-wheeler EVs. We are setting new benchmarks for efficient and reliable production of vehicles by integrating cutting-edge technology and quality control that are at par with global standards. This facility will enhance our production capacity, and reinforce our dedication to delivering powerful, locally manufactured vehicles that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry."
The facility is an opportunity for value creation in the sector and will create job opportunities in the region. Currently employing over 500 people, including 20 per cent women, the facility houses a dedicated learning and development centre, ‘Kamar-Taj', to equip its workforce with the right skills, especially considering the skill gap that exists in EV manufacturing.
"I am incredibly proud to lead this commercial EV manufacturing facility. It has best-in-class automation and aligns with our commitment towards sustainable practices. The combination of our skilled workforce and the best of technology position us to deliver powerful electric vehicles across India, making a significant contribution to the country's clean mobility future, said Anal Vijay Singh, Plant Head, Euler Motors.
With environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards at its core, the facility incorporates advanced waste management systems, a sewage treatment plant, and a circular groundwater recharge system. Key automation initiatives include the EMS Hanger system for automated loading and unloading, the Trailing Arm Fitment Assist for better assembly ergonomics and takt time control, and a vacuum-based brake oil filling machine to minimise spillage and contamination. A portable CMM provides accurate body checks during and after production.
