REVA is a light-weight electric vehicle, which is in production in Bangalore, India, since June 2001. In the last view years, European market has gained importance, especially cities like London, where driving EVs is attractive due to saving congestion tax and other incentives. The sales price is attractive, compared to other electric vehicles.
REVA EURO was developed to match the following criteria:
- Top speed of 85 kph compared to 65 kph of the existing REVA
- Driving range of 100 km to 150 km compared to 50 to 80 km of existing REVA
- Acceleration 0 to 50 kph in less than 10 seconds
- Maintenance free drive train and batteries
During the project 3 prototypes were built to test the new drive train system and the ZEBRA batteries, which had been specifically designed for this project. Most if the testing was done in India on city and rough country roads. Most of the targets could be fulfilled and the prospects to introduce the concept into production was very good until MES-DEA announced, that our specific battery would not be produced in series.
The car also received a lot of media attention, when is was presented at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2007.
