The future of mobility is clean, connected, shared and seamless – everything a smart city should offer. Tomorrow’s cities should not only have offices adjoining residential areas to reduce “rush hour traffic”, but also smarter traffic systems.
Having pioneered EVs in India – and being the only OEM with a wide portfolio of EVs – we are excited to create mobility solutions tailored to meet the requirements of a smart city. Our expertise in building intelligent transportation systems, smarter parking solutions and easy-to-handle mobility products like the GenZe range of electric scooters and bikes – all make a smart city more integrated and convenient to get around.
GREEN MOBILITY
Long before ‘go green’ became the rallying cry for urban shuttle, we sparked the EV movement in ‘96 with the ‘Bijilee’ – India’s first electric auto rickshaw. Since then we’ve committed to seeing clean technologies permeate the entire value chain of mobility – from our green manufacturing facilities to the materials used in production. The Mahindra e2oPlus, our most recent launch, is a clever car that can outsmart the evils of pollution and congestion in a city. Outside India, we also designed and developed a cool electric scooter for the US market – the GenZe 2.O.
SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Cities of the future will connect traffic signals to cars, for real-time debottlenecking. We’re already making strides towards this through Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) at 18 locations in Lucknow. Smart parking is no longer a pipedream; at Mahindra World City Jaipur, we are saving valuable time for commuters by guiding them to precise parking spots that are available.
CONNECTED VEHICLES
The meteoric advancements in IT have made previously-unimaginable features a reality in mobility. The launch of DigiSense makes us the first OEM in India to integrate our product line-up onto a cloud-based technology platform. It allows for facilities such as geo fencing, vehicle tracking, remote monitoring of vehicle health, breakdown assistance, route planning, among others. What’s more, our most recent EV launch, the Mahindra e2o Plus has world-first technologies such as REVive®. Through telematics, one can give a boost of power to the car when its battery drains out – just by clicking a button on an app!
TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
We have expertise in designing and building multilevel car parks, intelligent bus terminuses and even airports. Our traffic and transit management centre in Bengaluru serves to streamline the cities bus traffic. We are one of the largest providers of logistics, and our Dock Intelligent Scheduling Application (Disha) takes care of any type of warehouse congestion.
India can become the first country of its size which will run 100 per cent of electric vehicles. We are trying to make this programme self-financing.

Mahindra Electric (formerly Mahindra Reva) represents all that the Mahindra Group stands for: pioneering innovation, accessible design and technology, and global leadership. A forerunner in the EV market in India, we produced the e2o – an electric vehicle touted as the future of mobility.
