Electric mobility and new urban transport formats were among the key themes at EICMA 2026. At the Hero MotoCorp area, ABC Mundial spoke with Amol Chavan, Head of Innovation at Novus Labs, about electric vehicles designed to address the needs of European cities.

One of the projects on display is the NEX 2, an electric trike targeting more than 150 kilometres of range and a top speed above 100 km/h. The concept includes 70 litres of storage capacity and is designed to combine personal mobility with practical carrying space.

Chavan explained that the vehicle remains at the prototype stage, with industrialisation planned for a future European market launch. Production is expected to take place in India, while cities such as Paris, Milan and Barcelona are among the urban environments considered for its commercial development.

The project is part of a wider family of Novus Labs concepts exploring new electric transport solutions. These include the NEX 1, a smaller foldable personal vehicle with lower speed and range targets.
