The Last Mile Mobility (LMM) division of Mahindra has signed a distribution agreement with SLA Mobility for electric 3-wheelers. SLA Mobility is a fully owned subsidiary of Sino Lanka Pvt. Ltd. that focuses on introducing electric vehicles in Sri Lanka. Their vision is to be the pioneer of EVs in Sri Lanka.
The agreement that was signed on January 18, 2023, will involve distribution, and service support to SLA Mobility. Mahindra LMM is expected to import its highly lauded electric Treo range and the Zor Grand. These vehicles, based on the Sri Lankan government’s approval, will be imported into Sri Lanka.
LMM is also exploring localisation or CKD operations in Sri Lanka.
Here’s what Bob Kundanmal, the Chairman of SLA Mobility, had to say about the agreement, "We are proud to be partnered with Mahindra and look forward to tapping the manufacturing potential of Sri Lanka. We believe that development in the electric mobility industry is essential for Sri Lanka's transportation eco system."
LMM currently exports its products to Nepal and the UK. There are also ongoing talks with a few other countries about exports, which will be announced in due course.
