Gujarat based E-bike and clock maker Ajanta group will be launching its Oreva e-car. A demo model of the Oreva Super is already on display at a Rajkot showroom. The same was manufactured at Ajanta’s Samakhiyali unit in Kutch district of Gujarat. The company plans to launch its first lot in January-February, 2009. The company has not yet begun production of the e-car.
Rather than having lead-acid, the Oreva Super electric car will have a NiMH or lithium battery. In 2001, another electric car ’Reva’ was launched in India by a Bangalore-based automobile company. But ‘Reva’ is priced at Rs 4,00,000, four times costlier than the projected cost of the Oreva Super electric car. Oreva Super, remarkably similar to China’s Flybo in look, has the technology of Jinan Flybo Motors, a China based automobile company.
