The news of India looking at going all electric by 2030 might be a massive challenge, however it is also a big opportunity that is attracting EV manufacturers from across the globe. The latest news is that Laureti Automotive Corporation is set on making their Indian debut with the DionX full-size e-SUV that will compete in the luxury car market. It is touted to have an amazing range per charge and Laureti has plans on kicking off their Indian innings by highlighting this very fact through an innovative cross country drive.
What Laureti has to say about the DionX
‘‘Laureti will also be known for its safety aspect especially in the Indian market. We sourced a lot of data and research on road conditions and traffic behaviour in building our technology solutions to achieve top mark in safety standards. We are looking forward to publishing further test results and demonstrating them live in the ‘Endurance Trip’ this year,’’ says Marcus Paleti, CEO of Laureti Automotive Corporation. “Most of the breakthrough technologies used in making DionX sourced from cooperation and joint ventures with leading innovative companies in France who I think will be major contributor for the success of Laureti,” he added.
‘‘Using a combination of specific battery technology and power systems gave us the key breakthrough results to bring forth DionX. This enables Laureti to produce highly efficient long range EVs that come with battery life guarantee up to 100,000 km,’’ Emmanuel Laurent, Managing Director of Laureti says.
Laureti DionX – What you need to know
The Laureti DionX is a premium luxury full-size e-SUV that is set to make its debut in India by the end of 2019 / early 2020. The DionX boasts of a robust design that is sharp and sporty with a typical British design touch. There is a hint of Aston Martin in it when viewed from the front, however the rear is unlike anything we have seen on an SUV till date.
The cabin boasts of a fine fit and finish, with access to cutting edge technology at your fingertips. Laureti is setting up a manufacturing unit in Puducherry and the DionX is expected to rollout later this year / early 2020. Having said that, there has been no reveal on the pricing just yet.
What we do know is that Laureti claims that the DionX comes with a 540 km range per charge and to demonstrate this fact, the company is setting out on the ‘Laureti Endurance Trip’ in August 2019. The target of this trip is to cover a distance of 6,000 km in less than 12 charge cycles. The DionX will flag off from Leh in Kashmir and drive down to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu via Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.
