A skateboard platform: what is it?
A skateboard platform is essentially an electric vehicle (EV) platform with integrated batteries that make the car level on the floor. automobile manufacturers may easily construct alternative automobile bodywork, such as sedans or trucks, on top of the same base thanks to this architecture.
In addition to being quicker and less expensive to produce, the skateboard platform offers improved handling and more cabin capacity. Almost all automobile manufacturers currently use this platform. Mahindra’s electric car line, BE, will also make use of the skateboard platform.
The national sales chief of Mahindra, Baneswar Banerjee, confirmed the introduction of three new electric utility cars. “Even as we aggressively pursue pure EV models, they will continue to focus solely on the utility vehicles segment in the passenger car segment,” stated Mr. Banerjee.
The XUV 400 is the sole electric vehicle that Mahindra currently offers in their inventory. Mahindra is intended to be guided towards EVs based on skateboard platforms by the BE.05, BE Rall.e, and BE.07. Mahindra is positioned to be a strong competitor in the expanding Indian EV industry thanks to these impending launches.
