As we at Brown & Company continue to defy market expectations for another 150 years, we are thrilled to announce our all-new electric vehicle lineup. We present to you a carefully curated range of premium-quality and price-conscious vehicles, making sustainable automobile ownership available to all our fellow citizens.
Instilled with a ‘Heritage of Trust’ spanning a century and a half, Browns has shaped the domestic motor vehicle industry throughout the decades. Constantly adapting to meet the nation’s ever-evolving needs, we at Browns step out to make a mark with one of our most transformative ventures to date.
Coming to understand the current vehicle marketplace leaves many of us questioning how vehicle prices continue to remain beyond reach for the average consumer. Owning a brand-new vehicle has been unattainable for the past 5 years, now, even after the import restrictions have been lifted, this continues to be out of reach for the numerous members driving our economic revival.
At a time when we Sri Lankans need it the most, Browns EV has moved to showcase a timely and inclusive solution grounded in the progress of uplifting our nation. Browns, in partnership with global electric vehicle pioneers SAIC-GM-Wuling [SGMW] and Beijing Auto Works [BAW], proudly offer you three exclusively tailored models.
Our very own People’s Car, the BAW-E7 priced at a mere LKR 4.7 million has turned the long held dream of EV ownership into a viable reality for countless Sri Lankans. Driving nationwide inclusive adoption, the E7 is a sleek and compact 5-seater, 5-door car built for effortless urban commuting. Packed with smart and safe features while providing a holistically economical and efficient drive, the nation’s most affordable EV arrives exclusively at Browns later this month, currently available for pre-order.
For our customers valuing greater performance and heightened luxury, we are pleased to announce that the Wuling Binguo and Cloud are currently available for sale with us at Browns EV, priced at just LKR 8.1 million and LKR 12.4 million respectively. A perfect choice for both families and professionals, combining generous space with modern sophistication, the Wuling EVs elevate the driving experience with unmatched comfort and cutting-edge technology.
Together, these three models embody Browns EV’s commitment to their customers in quality, safety, and most importantly value. Solidifying this commitment, we are happy to announce extended warranty across our entire electric vehicle lineup.
Speaking about the venture, Mr. Niveyn Nanayakkara, Director of Browns EV stated, “Following years of import restrictions that have deprived our market of vehicle ownership, Sri Lankans have been waiting for vehicles that are not only high in quality but also genuinely financially accessible. Visiting the factories and inspecting our electric vehicle lineup myself, I knew it was exactly what our market needed a smart, reliable, sustainable, and affordable mode of transportation. We are not only bringing the global EV evolution to Sri Lanka, but are also making the dream of vehicle ownership a reality for everyday consumers, a win-win for our country. As someone continuing a legacy in the motor industry, it’s an honour and privilege to introduce a solution that speaks to the future.”
A broader perspective from Mr. Ishara Nanayakkara, Chairman of LOLC Holdings and Brown & Company PLC stated, “The launch of Browns EV marks a momentous milestone in our journey of providing intrinsic solutions to the Sri Lankan household. This is a historic point in Sri Lanka’s mobility landscape as we provide options that are not only affordable to purchase but equally affordable to maintain and use on a day-to-day basis. This initiative reflects our belief that true progress comes from empowering people through access, opportunity, and innovation. For 150 years, Browns has adapted to the needs of the people as we continue to propel economic development and social upliftment in this very nation we call home. Once again, we are addressing a pressing national need by restoring access to vehicle ownership to the millions of Sri Lankans who have long awaited this opportunity. Browns in collaboration with LOLC, looks to provide a holistic end-to-end service with inclusive financing, insurance, and after-care services all under one roof creating ripple effects across employment, entrepreneurship, and consumer sentiment.”
Wuling, the world’s second-largest EV brand has been the first Chinese automaker to produce over 3 million EVs with BAW being one of the oldest and second-largest automotive enterprises in China. Their commitment has been further bolstered by the unwavering legacy of Brown & Company along with its parent, LOLC, being the largest and most diversified conglomerate in Sri Lanka.
Browns EV has currently made provisions to open numerous showrooms across the island and is expected to introduce a variety of additional high-end vehicles to Sri Lanka, making it a one-stop destination for all your needs.
Providing a further commitment to its valued consumers while emphasising its dedication to long-term sustainability, Browns EV is developing Sri Lanka’s largest charging infrastructure network ensuring affordable, convenient, and reliable nationwide access for all EV owners. Furthermore, to seamlessly support our customers’ ownership experience, Browns EV unites with LOLC Finance and other leading banks and financial institutions in offering flexible financing options along with LOLC Insurance in providing comprehensive coverage, and Browns Care for dependable after-sales services and support.
