In a significant development for Karnataka’s electric vehicle ecosystem and sustainable urban transport, Gayatri Electric Vehicles (GEV) has inaugurated its flagship dealership in Bengaluru. The new facility, strategically located on the bustling Hosur Main Road in Singasandra, has been launched in partnership with Hanoo Mobility Pvt. Ltd., a recently established entity focused on advancing mobility solutions in the region.
This milestone strengthens GEV’s presence in South India, where the demand for efficient, eco-friendly last-mile and public transport alternatives is rapidly growing. Headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and founded in 2016, Gayatri Electric Vehicles has emerged as a key player in manufacturing robust electric three-wheelers under the Dabang brand, with a strong emphasis on innovation, safety, and compliance.
Dabang MaxX: Pioneering High-Capacity Electric Mobility
The centerpiece of the new dealership is the Dabang MaxX, hailed as India’s first iCAT-approved 7+1 seater electric auto (accommodating 7 passengers + driver). This groundbreaking vehicle addresses key challenges in urban commuting, such as overcrowding in conventional three-wheelers, limited capacity, and rising fuel costs.Here are the standout features of the Dabang MaxX:
- Seating Capacity: 7+1 passengers, making it ideal for family outings, school transport, shuttle services, and high-demand public routes.
- Performance: Powered by a powerful 7800W motor and a durable 60V / 12.6 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, it delivers a top speed of 50 km/h and a real-world range exceeding 150 km on a single charge.
- Design Focus: Engineered for maximum revenue generation for fleet operators while minimizing traffic congestion through higher passenger throughput per vehicle.
- Sustainability: Zero-emission electric drivetrain, contributing to cleaner air in densely populated cities like Bengaluru.
- Certifications: Fully approved by the International Centre for Automotive Technology (iCAT), ensuring compliance with national safety and regulatory standards.
Test drives for the Dabang MaxX are now available at the Singasandra dealership, allowing potential customers, fleet owners, and operators to experience its spacious interior, smooth ride, and practical advantages firsthand. The outlet also showcases GEV’s L3 series electric rickshaws, catering to a broader range of passenger and light commercial needs.
Strategic Partnership and Regional Impact
The collaboration with Hanoo Mobility Pvt. Ltd. underscores GEV’s commitment to expanding its dealer network in high-growth markets like Karnataka. This Bengaluru flagship is expected to serve as a hub for sales, service, spares, and charging support, enabling faster adoption of electric three-wheelers in the city.By introducing high-capacity models like the Dabang MaxX, GEV is not only redefining public and shared transport but also empowering operators with vehicles that offer lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, and higher earning potential compared to traditional fuel-based autos.
As India accelerates its transition to electric mobility, initiatives like this dealership launch play a crucial role in addressing urban congestion, pollution, and last-mile connectivity. With the Dabang MaxX now accessible for test drives in Bengaluru, fleet operators and commuters have a compelling, future-ready option to embrace sustainable transport.
