Ideal Motors (Pvt) and Takas have announced their tie-up to offer online booking of Mahindra e2O. In its endeavour to meet the future ready aspiration of its customers and provide innovative solution, this is one of the industry’s first initiative on one of the largest e-commerce companies in Sri Lanka, Takas.lk said in a media release.

Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, a part of the US $20.7 billion Mahindra Group, has always emphasised the importance of Sri Lanka, as a one of the key focus markets. The tie-up of its partners – Ideal Motors, with Takas is a step in its direction. Ideal Motors is the sole franchise distributor of the Mahindra two-wheeler, three-wheeler, passenger, commercial vehicle segments in Sri Lanka. This will allow Mahindra and Ideal to further reach out and connect with its customers and provide them the ease to book Mahindra e2O, the electric passenger car.

Mahindra’s fully electric passenger car, the “Mahindra e20” is the green answer to city mobility. It is an ideal, economical city commuter car for small family of four. Its two door provides safety for small children sitting at the back. The interior leather quality is impressive for its size, while legroom remains good within both rows.

Commenting on the partnership, Ms. Nimisha Welgama, Director Legal and Corporate Affairs of Ideal Group said,“ We believe electric is the future, and we wanted to use an eCommerce channel to promote the e2O at the click of a button and offer great user experience in a seamless transactional environment, thus expanding our reach.” Lahiru Pathmalal, CEO, Takas said, “We are super excited with this venture. Takas.lk has sold pretty much everything to date but not a car. We are confident our consumers will see incredible value in this product. Essentially you can buy your car in a matter of minutes.”

The e2O is a car of the future with the ability for the driver to enable several features from a handy “app” on their smartphone. These include, remotely locking and unlocking the car from anywhere, turning on and off the air-conditioning and even remotely diagnosing the car’s health and battery levels. The app also allows drivers to tap into a reserve (power), in case the power runs out before the car reaches a power outlet and provides up to 10 kilometres of extra distance.
