In 2020, Force Motors announced the electric version of its most popular model, i.e., the Traveller. The brand has invested a hefty sum of Rs 3,000 crore to develop the Traveller EV and other electric models, including the new production line, hybrid systems, engineering and digital upgrades, and new models.
In the latest announcement made by Mr Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors, the brand will launch the Traveller EV in India in Q1 2027 (January-March 2-27). The Traveller EV has been in development for a long time, and the brand has now revealed that its development has been completed. The final testing for the Traveller EV is ongoing, and the launch spec has been sent to ARAI for homologation and type document approvals.
Speaking of the details, the Traveller EV will be based on an all-new platform. This platform will also house a wide range of upcoming electric models. The initial product launch will be in the form of passenger ferrying vehicle, ambulance, and office shuttles. Later, an electric version of Urbania will also be introduced, which is reported to be in the development stage as of now.
With that said, the Traveller EV will feature a 70 kWh battery pack. It is likely to get a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The complete specification details are not disclosed yet, but the brand did reveal that it will have a gradient capability of 18 per cent. Moreover, the Traveller EV will get a 14+Driver seating configuration.
Since it will be based on an all-new architecture, the Traveller EV will get a host of hi-tech features. These are likely to include ADAS safety assist, cabin and exterior cameras, and an electrically operated jack-knife door for passenger entry and exit. Dimensionally, it measures 5,415 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 3,350 mm. The Traveller EV stands 1.8 meters tall.
