Youdha EPOD is built to meet these emerging needs with a solution designed for the new Bharat.

Made in India, Made for Bharat
Manufactured at Youdha’s state-of-the-art facility in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, the EPOD benefits from a production capacity of up to 100,000 units annually. This facility is equipped with advanced assembly lines, end-of-line testing stations, and robust quality assurance systems, ensuring every vehicle meets stringent standards.
The initial rollout has begun in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Assam—markets strategically selected due to their high three-wheeler penetration and growing EV acceptance. A phased national expansion is scheduled in the upcoming quarters.
“We’re not just offering a vehicle, we’re offering economic empowerment”
Brand Genesis: The Warrior Has Risen
While Youdha may be a new name, it is firmly rooted in the legacy of Lohia Auto, one of India’s earliest pioneers in the electric mobility space. After more than a decade of contributing to affordable e-rickshaw mobility, the shift to Youdha marks a bold evolution—from legacy manufacturing to becoming a forward-thinking, scalable EV brand with a strong consumer identity.
The name “Youdha”, derived from the Sanskrit word Yodha (warrior), symbolizes the strength, resilience, and ambition of India’s everyday heroes—drivers and entrepreneurs who power the nation’s movement.
Design Philosophy and Visual Identity
The Youdha logo, shaped like a warrior’s shield, features a bold ‘Y’ at its center. It represents not only the brand but also the individual—the self-employed driver, the small fleet owner, the delivery agent—whose aspirations Youdha aims to empower.
Our tagline, “Chalao Shaan Se, Kamao Aan Se” (“Drive with dignity, earn with pride”), reflects our mission: to transform electric three-wheelers from mere economic necessities to aspirational assets.
This shift in design and positioning signals a larger change from affordability to aspiration, from utility to identity.

-

Why Youdha Matters
