The electric dumper comes with a payload capacity of 350kg and features a hydraulic system to unload materials. This utility electric vehicle is designed to be used either as a delivery van or for garbage collection.

Apart from these two, Lohia Auto also showcased Narain LC a vehicle used for delivery with low maintenance and high loading capacity and the e-scooter which is powered by a lithium ion battery.
