The Kerala automotive division had ordered 65 units of the Tata Nexon EV for enforcement duties earlier this year. The first two units of the Tata Nexon EV for Kerala MVD are ready for delivery. A new image was posted on drivetokerala.com shows. facebook.com Group Vandipremikal and team-bhp.com Forum member Anb took a closer look at the Tata Nexon EV for MVD with the pictures here that are being shared on social media this week:
The first two units of the Tata Nexon EV for the Kerala MVD are in the mid-range XZ +, which indicates the presence of a two-tone paint and the lack of a sunroof. They have the Kerala MVD logo and the words “Road Safety Enforcement” on the bonnet. In addition, the door panels have a special paint finish as well as the “Safe Kerala” and MVD lettering and the Kerala MVD logo.
Kerala is the first state in India to source electric vehicles for enforcement purposes. TheHindu.com reported in June that Kerala MVD had placed orders to lease electric vehicles from Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) and opted for dry leasing (without chauffeur) of the vehicles with upfront costs for eight years. It is also said that an electric vehicle charging network with charging stations will be set up in the 65 offices of the Enforcement Squads.
KR Jyothilal, chief secretary of the Department of Transportation, said work orders have been placed for 65 electric vehicles and the Kerala MVD is a role model for green mobility adoption. This decision is part of the decision by the Kerala government to discontinue electric vehicles and buy diesel vehicles instead. The Nexon electric vehicles ordered for the Enforcement Squad are equipped with equipment necessary for enforcement activities such as speed radars.
It is not yet known if charging stations to be set up in the Enforcement Squad offices will be made available to the public, but the maintenance of the Nexon electric vehicles will be carried out by the EESL.
