Mahindra, Vodafone roll out India's first M2M car
Mahindra e2o, an electric vehicle, becomes the first "connected" car in
India with telematics-based features such as remote control of
air-conditioning to pre-cool the car and technical support.
On Wednesday, Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles, a part of the US$15.9 billion Mahindra Group, and Vodafone Business Services (VBS), the enterprise arm of Vodafone India announced a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication partnership, the first of its kind in India.
This partnership will enable Vodafone to provide M2M communication services to power the recently-launched electric vehicle--Mahindra e2o. The e2o is among a select few cars in the world to support telematics. This will be the first 'connected car' in India.
Mahindra Reva has developed a host of connectivity technologies in the e2o to help its owners remotely access various features and functions of their vehicle using a smartphone app or from a dedicated webpage.
With the help of Vodafone's services and a smart phone (or any Internet-connected computer), e2o owners can access the following services:
Chetan Maini, chief of strategy and technology, Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles said in a statement: "The e2o is the first and only Indian car, and among the few worldwide, to have telematics-based features that enable 'anytime, anywhere connectivity' between our customers and their cars. Going forward, connected car technologies will make a difference to convenience and safety, thereby making a positive impact on the way people commute and interact with their cars."
Reva was the first electric vehicle in India, launched by Reva Electric Car Company (founded in 1994), a joint venture between the Maini Group of Bangalore and AEV LLC of USA. Reva Electric Car focused on creating affordable electric cars through advanced technology and launched its first model in India (Reva) in 2001 and in London in 2004. In May 2010, the Mahindra Group acquired a majority stake in the company, which was renamed Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles.

With the help of Vodafone's services and a smart phone (or any Internet-connected computer), e2o owners can access the following services:
- Know the state of charge in the battery of their car and how far they can travel with the available charge.
- Remotely control its air-conditioning and set schedules to pre-heat or pre-cool the car before using it.
- Lock or unlock the car doors.
- Find the nearest charging stations.
- Receive alerts on various events with the car such as a disruption in charging due to power cuts, safety-related reminders such as a door being left unlocked or a parking brake not applied.
- Get an emergency boost charge with a command on the smartphone to go an extra 8 km to 10 km. This is the result of Mahindra Reva's patented technology – REVive. REVive is the first of its kind remote emergency charge activated through the smartphone app or a call to RIA (remote interactive assist). In the rare event of running low on charge, customers can use the app on their smart phones to remotely activate the reserve energy that can get them going.
- Have the Mahindra Reva Tech Help Desk remotely do prognosis and diagnostics of the car.

Mahindra launches electric car e2o at Rs.5.96 lakh
The Mahindra group on Monday launched its first electric car 'e2o' priced at Rs.5.96 lakh (on road Delhi, after state subsidy), almost three years after it acquired Bangalore-based electric car maker Reva.
The group also said it has plans to extend the electric mobility technology to its two-wheelers, while seeking support from the Central government for pushing eco-friendly vehicles.
"The launch of the Mahindra e2o marks an important milestone for the Mahindra Group...it advances the group's efforts at redefining sustainable urbanisation with the creation of an ecosystem that includes mobility solutions along with other environment friendly innovations," Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra told reporters here.
The two-door, four-seater car is powered by new generation lithium-ion batteries and a three phase induction electric motor. It has driving range of 100 kms per charge, which takes 5 hours for one full charging. The fully automatic car is aimed for city driving.
It has also a host of features like GPS navigation system, keyless entry, start/stop button, regenerative braking feature, which puts energy back into the car's batteries and charges them every time it is slowed down or brakes are applied.
Commenting on the market expansion plans for the e2o, Mahindra & Mahindra President (Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors) Pawan Goenka said: "We will be launching it in eight other cities over the next three to four weeks. The prices will vary as it would depend on how much subsidy state governments will give to the electric car."
In Delhi, the government has given a total of 29 per cent subsidy on the electric car as a result of which the company has been able to sell it at an on-road price of Rs.5.96 lakh, he said, adding it would be more expensive in other cities.
The 'e2o' will also be launched in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Pune and Kochi.
