Autocar Professional - August 15, 2020
E-mobility is the overarching theme across the automotive industry today and Autocar Professional’s August 15 issue celebrates this with an ‘E-mobility Special’ even as the 74th Independence Day celebrations get underway across the nation.
· States across the country are racing to bring together the most comprehensive EV policy in a bid to woo maximum investment. Delhi takes the lead for the moment with a comprehensive EV policy that targets 500,000 electric vehicles and 25 percent electrification of new vehicles on Delhi roads by 2024.
· Not to be left behind, Telangana has drawn up an ambitious plan that targets Rs 23,000 crore investment by 2030. Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are the other key contenders.
· Entrepreneurs are busy plugging into e-mobility – Srivaru Motors is set to launch its first electric offering, Prana Grand this Diwali.
· Meanwhile, Sodion Energy is betting big on sodium-ion batteries as a cheaper and greener alternative to lithium-ion.
· However, a recent UN study has raised concerns about the production process of EV batteries though they guarantee zero tailpipe emission.
· In the commercial vehicle space, global conglomerate Hitachi and infra-major ABB have joined hands for what they promise to be a game-changing grid-to-plug EV charging system for commercial vehicle fleets.
· As fleet operators increasingly look for efficiency and productivity, commercial vehicle manufacturers are betting big on telematics to give them the much-needed market edge.
