Kshitij Bajaj, Founder and CEO of Dandera Ventures said, “OTUA raises the bar for everything that last mile delivery drivers and fleet owners have come to expect from a cargo EV. From world-class and industry-leading driver ergonomics and safety to outright performance in terms of range, volume, and capacity; OTUA is the first cargo EV to offer an uncompromising vision of transitioning to sustainable mobility for the global logistics and last-mile delivery industry.”
The brand has not revealed any plans about partnerships with the brands in logistics and last-mile delivery business but has said that partnerships with EV charging solutions brands exist. The vehicle will initially be made available in Delhi NCR, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Pre-bookings have commenced and the first deliveries will commence by next year.
