Autocar Professional Magazine - 15th April 2025

In this issue

Autocar Professional’s April 15, 2025 Edition is out! Strap: This latest edition of the magazine emphasizes India's pragmatic and inclusive path to a net-zero mobility future. This issue delves into India’s evolving mobility landscape, where clean energy transitions are being shaped by practicality, regional strengths, and consumer-centric strategies. With Tamil Nadu emerging as a leader in automotive innovation, the magazine highlights the state's technology-agnostic strategy — supporting a full spectrum of clean powertrains including EVs, hybrids, CNG, biofuels, ethanol blends, hydrogen, and cleaner ICE vehicles. Industries Minister Dr. TRB Rajaa reiterates the state's commitment to enabling consumer-driven choices through robust infrastructure and policy support. India’s mobility transition is not solely about the end goal—it’s about making the journey inclusive, practical, and scalable. This was the central message at the Future Powertrain Conference, hosted by Autocar Professional in collaboration with Guidance Tamil Nadu. Stories in this edition highlight this message. The edition also explores how the global automotive industry is being reshaped by ACES (Autonomous, Connected, Electric, Shared) trends, with software playing a transformative role in both vehicle systems and business models. As India navigates its unique economic and infrastructural challenges, the edition asserts that achieving a net-zero future will require a diversified, flexible, and ecosystem-driven approach.
