Mahindra Udo Electric Auto With 200 Km Range Launched in India at Rs 3.58 Lakh

Mahindra has introduced the Udo in the L5M electric passenger three-wheeler category. The Udo is built on a full monocoque structure. The design takes cues from aviation, and the name ‘Udo’ is derived from the Hindi word for “to fly”.

Suspension duties are carried out by dual front fork suspension and an independent rear suspension setup. The Udo rides on 12-inch wheels with tubeless tyres and uses drum brakes.

On the inside the driver gets what the company calls a ‘pilot seat’, claimed to be around 20 percent thicker than comparable models. The passenger area is designed to offer additional headroom and legroom.

Mahindra is offering a warranty of six years or 1.5 lakh km, whichever comes earlier, along with free servicing up to 1 lakh km.
