Indian arm of Chinese electric two-wheeler manufacturer, Benling India Energy & Technology Pvt Ltd launched its latest model Aura recently. With this latest addition to its product portfolio, the company has entered into high speed segment of India’s EV market. Aura is expected to go on sale from the first quarter 2020 and will be available Pan India.
On the launch of their brand new electric vehicle, Mr. Paritosh Dey, CEO, Benling India Energy & Technology Pvt Ltd said, “India’s mobility landscape has tremendous opportunities for growth in the electric vehicle segment. Lack of charging infrastructure and R&D required in EV space are a challenge that if mitigated would pave way for emergence of EV over ICE. We need to establish proper infrastructure to create a thriving ecosystem for electric vehicles.”
The model Aura was unveiled at the “11th EV Expo dedicated to electric vehicles” organised at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. EV Expo is an international event which connects all the stakeholders of electric vehicle industry and to bring all concerned on common ground. Till now, Indian Auto market has been dominated by ICE vehicles. But with the recent initiatives by government to turn India into an ‘All electric fleet by 2030’ and curb the alarming pollution levels, the focus has been shifted to electric vehicles.
With the same vision, Benling has launched this new model, Aura to suit Indian consumer needs. Priced competitively with its industry counterparts, Benling’s Aura comes with an exquisite design and world class innovation. One such feature that sets Aura apart is the Breakdown Smart Assistance System (BSAS), which will restart the scooter and continue to run despite any breakdown in the system.
“We are committed to deliver world class technology and continuous innovation to our consumers. With the launch of Aura, we are aiming to contribute towards reducing the carbon footprint in the country maintaining the international standards,” Mr. Dey added.
Some other features that the model ensembles include a 2500 BLDC electric motor and a detachable 72V/40Ah lithium-ion battery with a range of 120 km per charge.
