In mid-year 2015, the executives of Hulas Motors announced the discontinuation of notable production vehicles, like the Hulas Mustang, and the Hulas Sherpa utility vehicles. The reason behind the discontinuation was that; two years ago, the Nepalese government had ordered the company to upgrade the engines to Euro III standards. The executives say that they could not find a perfect Euro III standard engine, exhibiting high performance in both normal and hilly roads before the deadline expired. They also lobbied for the government to extend the expiry date of the deadline they had to meet.

On July 8, 2016, it was announced that Hulas Motors had begun the production of an all-electric passenger car, and is currently undergoing testing in various areas of Nepal, including Kathmandu city, and other rural and hilly areas. The electric car is said to be priced at NRs 14 to 15 lakh or NRs 1.4 to 1.5 million. The car is said to have various features like power windows, power lock system, power steering system, and an air conditioning system.
