“Cumulatively, the Treo has travelled a distance of over 35 Million kms on Indian roads, saving 1,925 metric tonnes of CO2 tailpipe emissions, equivalent to planting 87,500 trees to absorb the same emissions, while its low running costs have enabled our Treo customers to save up to Rs 45,000/ year,” he said.
“Treo customers clocked upto 265 kilometres daily due to ease of charging it anywhere, and with some well-planned charging breaks. The ‘Drive by Wire’ technology on the Treo, which makes it particularly easy to drive, has enabled access to a customer base of women owners in India.”
