In a major push towards urban mobility, Japanese OEM Terra Motors India unveiled its latest three-wheeler model, KYORO+, at a launch event at The Lalit, New Delhi. The event featured several dignitaries, including Shehzad Poonawalla, National Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The name “KYORO,” derived from the Japanese term for alertness and swift movement, reflects the vehicle’s core attributes. With this launch, KYORO+ joins Terra Motors’ existing electric auto models Y4A, Rizin, and Pace, expanding its electric three-wheelers portfolio. Through this strategic move, the company aims to establish 100 dealerships nationwide and increase production capacity to 5,000 units per month by the end of 2025. It also seeks to become India’s leading electric auto manufacturer and capture the USD 1,174.1 million three-wheeler market.
“With over a decade of experience in manufacturing and operations in India, Terra Motors has positioned itself as a leader in the country’s EV segment. The company has sold over 100,000 L3 units, making it a market leader in East India,” said Go Suzuki, Managing Director of Terra Motors India. “At Terra, we’ve been shaping the future of clean mobility with our E-rickshaws. Now, with the launch of our Electric Auto (L5), we’re redefining transport on India’s roads. Our unique zero down payment financing ensures every customer has the freedom to choose the best, making sustainable mobility more accessible than ever,” he added.
Toru Tokushige, Founder & CEO of Terra Motors, also shared his thoughts on the latest product, saying, “India represents our strongest commitment globally. At Terra, we aim to lead the market through continuous innovation, with a clear goal — to become No.1 in shaping the future of electric mobility. Seeing KYORO+ hit the roads in India will be a proud moment for us. I am confident that our vehicle’s efficient design and performance will set new standards in the electric vehicle market.”
