New Delhi: Automotive customization brand DC2, founded by ace automotive designer Dilip Chhabria, made a spectacular comeback at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in New Delhi on January 17, 2025. After a brief hiatus, DC2, with Mercury EV-Tech, unveiled two groundbreaking products: e-TANQ, a futuristic off-roader, and Europa, an ultra-luxurious showroom on wheels.
Designed in-house by DC2 in a joint venture with Mercury EV-Tech Ltd, e-TANQ is an all-electric commercial vehicle designed to revolutionize urban and commercial transportation. Rugged, bold, and brimming with power, it is a perfect balance of engineering excellence and design innovation. Equipped with a massive 180 kWh battery delivering 650 BHP, the futuristic off-roader combines performance with sustainability.
DC2 also unveiled Europa, a bespoke, one-of-a-kind showroom on wheels, in collaboration with Goldmedal Electricals, one of India’s leading Fast Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) companies. The luxurious, state-of-the-art mobile showroom was designed at the cost of INR 18 crore. With innovative craftsmanship and superior aesthetics, Europa reflects DC2’s flair for creating unique experiences.
Dilip Chhabria, Founder of DC2, said, “Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 has been an opportunity to reconnect with automotive enthusiasts and showcase our vision for the future of mobility. The Expo offered the perfect stage to present our innovations to a passionate audience, and we are thrilled to have been a part of it.”
He further added, “Our collaboration with Mercury EV-Tech has been an incredible journey. Together, we’ve created a vehicle that combines the boldness of a rugged off-roader with cutting-edge electric technology, making a strong statement about our commitment to sustainability and innovation. This is just the beginning of a new chapter for DC2.”
Mr. Jayesh Thakkar, Chairman of Mercury EV-Tech Ltd. said, “We believe in Dilip Chhabria’s legacy of futuristic design and engineering excellence, which made his brand the perfect partner for the e-TANQ. DC2’s commitment to transforming futuristic ideas into reality is well-aligned with our vision. With the e-TANQ, both our brands aim to redefine the future of mobility by focusing on cutting-edge design and sustainability. This collaboration is a step toward creating vehicles that cater to the expectations of the modern consumer.”
