QUANTRON AG’S LATEST partnership with Goldstone Technologies (GTL) is part of the larger India strategy for the German e-mobility major. Michael Perschke, CEO of Quantron AG spoke about why it chose India over Germany to build its Mobility As a Service platform.
Having had multiple stints in India with European auto majors Mercedes Benz and Audi, Perschke understands the Indian market well and what can it offer, as the market transitions to a net zero carbon future.
The company has chosen to forge technology alliances and create an ecosystem to participate at almost every node of zero emission mobility space including hydrogen – by being a service provider - rather than join the tough truckmaking market.
In this conversation with Autocar Professional, Perschke spoke about the company’s strategic direction and partnerships in India and how they are leveraging India’s talent pool.
Tell us a little bit about how your business evolved to what it is today.
Quantron AG is a family-run business active in the transportation sector. Their core business, since 2019, was in retrofitting diesel vehicles to zero-emission vehicles. When I came on board in 2021, I realised that the potential was limited and there is a vast opportunity to grow in the hydrogen space. We decided to adopt a platform approach and we launched our two vehicles run on hydrogen in Germany. Having worked in the Volkswagen Group for over a decade, I understand very well how the platform strategy can be leveraged.
