Sri Lanka Welcomes Mahindra EVs: A New Era of Last Mile Mobility Begins
Colombo, Sri Lanka — April 2025:
In a bold move to extend its global footprint, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML), a pioneering force in India’s commercial electric vehicle (EV) sector, has officially forayed into the Sri Lankan market. This strategic expansion is made possible through a significant partnership with Evolution Auto Private Limited – Sri Lanka, a joint venture formed between SLA Mobility and the Sensai Group.
This partnership is expected to play a key role in accelerating the adoption of electric mobility solutions in Sri Lanka, particularly in the last-mile transportation segment. Evolution Auto has been appointed as the authorized distributor of Mahindra’s electric three-wheeler range in Sri Lanka, marking a major milestone in MLMML’s global growth strategy.
Comprehensive EV Lineup Introduced
Under this partnership, Evolution Auto will offer a full range of Mahindra’s electric three-wheelers tailored for urban and peri-urban transportation. The lineup includes:
- Treo Auto – An efficient passenger carrier with best-in-class comfort and reliability.

- Treo Zor PU (Pickup Utility) – Designed for last-mile cargo delivery, offering a perfect blend of utility and sustainability.
- Treo Zor DV (Delivery Van) – Enclosed cargo solution ideal for businesses needing secure goods transportation.
These EVs have already proven their mettle in India with superior performance, low running costs, and zero tailpipe emissions, making them an ideal choice for eco-conscious urban mobility.
Flagship Dealership Inaugurated in Peliyagoda
To commemorate the official launch, the flagship Mahindra EV dealership was inaugurated in Peliyagoda, strategically located on the bustling Colombo–Negombo Road — a key transport corridor in the Western Province.
