Tata Harrier EV Conquers Beas River During Red Bull Extreme Challenge

-The Tata Harrier EV became the first Tata car to take on an extreme stunt under the TMPVL–Red Bull India partnership.
-Behind the wheel was Red Bull’s Abdo 'Dado' Feghali.

The TATA Harrier EV became the first Tata car to embark on an extreme challenge under the partnership between Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPVL) and Red Bull India (which aims to bring together the brand's range of vehicles and Red Bull’s world-class athletes to deliver thrilling stunts and record-breaking feats). In an inaugural stunt, the Harrier EV is seen fording the Beas River in Himachal Pradesh. It navigated the river downstream from the Pong Dam, offering a glimpse at its commanding presence, off-road strength, and reliable engineering.

The Harrier EV carried out the challenge in its range-topping QWD guise, featuring a dual-motor all-wheel-drive layout with motors on both axles. The challenge unfolded in three stages: negotiating a rugged riverbank, navigating calm but deep backwaters, and confronting fast-flowing currents. Behind the wheel was Red Bull’s Abdo 'Dado' Feghali.
