Gawie Brink, Technical Director at Enviro Automotive, highlighted the vehicle’s benefits, stating: “Our new SRM T3 EV is meticulously designed for urban logistics and last-mile deliveries. It provides businesses with a practical, efficient and eco-friendly solution, making it ideal for fleet modernisation while supporting global sustainability objectives.”
The SRM T3 EV is equipped with a synchronous electric motor that generates 60 kW and 220 Nm of torque, powering the rear wheels and comes fitted with a 53,58 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, providing a driving range of up to 300 km on a single charge.
Charging the SRM T3 EV is streamlined with support for both AC and DC charging standards. An 11 kW AC charger can fully charge the battery in approximately three hours, while a 55 kW DC charger boosts the battery from 20% to 80% in about 35 minutes.
With dimensions of 5 190 mm in length, 1 770 mm in width, and 1 995 mm in height and a wheelbase of 3 400 mm, the SRM T3 EV boasts a load box measuring 3 100 mm in length, 1 680 mm in width and 370 mm in height, allowing 5,2 sq/m of cargo space and a payload of up to 1 625 kg.

The vehicle features advanced driver-assistance systems and a reinforced body structure for enhanced protection. Its 195/70 R15 LT tyres, McPherson independent front suspension and 6-leaf spring rear suspension ensure stability and support for heavy loads.
