Blackbuck Electric Vehicles has unveiled ELON 3X, its 15-metre multi-axle electric sleeper coach, marking a significant milestone in the development of premium long-distance electric mobility in India.
Completely designed, engineered and developed in-house in India, ELON 3X combines the capacity of a full-size sleeper coach with a purpose-built electric vehicle platform, bringing together passenger comfort, operational efficiency and advanced vehicle technologies.
Designed specifically for long-distance intercity transportation, ELON 3X features a three-axle configuration developed to accommodate higher passenger and luggage capacity while prioritising ride comfort and highway stability.
The coach offers 42 sleeper berths, plus driver and Codriver providing operators with a high-capacity configuration for premium overnight journeys.
Recognising the high luggage capacity requirements of Indian intercity bus operators, Blackbuck EV has designed ELON 3X with more than 9 m³ of dedicated luggage space, addressing an important operational need in long-distance Intercity bus travel.
Its contemporary exterior styling, spacious sleeper interiors and thoughtfully designed passenger environment are intended to deliver a refined travel experience for long-distance journeys.
At the heart of ELON 3X is Blackbuck EV’s Born-Electric Skateboard Architecture, developed specifically for electric mobility rather than adapting a conventional diesel-powered platform.
This architecture integrates lightweight structural design, electric propulsion, energy storage and electrical systems into a unified vehicle platform.
Ultra-Lightweight Design has been a central engineering priority, aimed at optimising energy efficiency while supporting passenger capacity, durability and long-term operating economics.
ELON 3X offers two battery configurations — 425 kWh and 565 kWh — designed to accommodate different long-distance operational requirements.
