ETO has launched E3Ws in Azadpur and Kalkaji metro stations and plans to extend its women fleet to 200 in the next three months. To achieve this goal, ETO intends to identify and train 200 women drivers in Delhi in partnership with the Transport Department of Delhi, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation, School of Driving & Training Institute, Burari (DTI), Institute of Driving and Traffic Research (IDTR).

It can achieve a range of approximately 100 KM on a single charge. The firm says it boasts a unique topple-free design and comes with a built-in vehicle tracking system. It also has many ‘industry first’ safety features like driver and passenger seat belts and a bucket seat for the driver partners, claims ETO.

The firm is eyeing a target of launching 10,000 e-autos across India and under the Single Window Delhi EV policy. It is currently in the process of setting up 5000 charge point stations across Delhi over a period of 12 months.
