Uniti plans to bring a 5-seat configuration of its EV to
the Indian market with a single-charge range of approximately 200 km. Expo
attendees will be offered a virtual reality demonstration of this 5-seater
along with a hands-on view of the 2-seat, European model that debuted in front
of a 2,000+ strong crowd in Landskrona, Sweden last December. All Uniti models
are considered premium vehicles, noted for their unique user experience, modern
approach to safety and sustainable production.
First deliveries in India are intended for 2020 with a
retail price starting from ?7,14,000. Eager customers can join a rapidly
growing list of Uniti enthusiasts for a refundable pre-order cost of ?1,000.
Pre-ordering the Uniti One will offer early access to the online vehicle
configurator, eligibility for the pending beta test programme, and early
delivery among other perks.
"With our immense experience in various businesses,
including automotive, and our footprint in almost every geographical part of
our country, we hope our initiative will bring the best of affordable, yet very
high-tech cars into every household and change the way people drive. We are
also glad that our diversification into the manufacturing of EVs will contribute
to the drive against pollution, which is now affecting almost every major metro
in our country,” said Ankur Bhatia, Executive Director at Bird Group.
"This initiative will not only create huge
opportunities and numerous jobs in our factories and dealership network, it
will also help boost the Indian economy through large-scale exports
manufactured by our JV Company into the markets of the Asia Pacific, Middle
East, and Africa," added Bhatia.
