Tata Motors is single-handedly responsible for bringing EVs into mainstream consideration of car buyers in India. While the rest of the mass market manufacturers are playing catch up, Tata already has four EVs in its lineup and is ready to roll out four more over the next couple of years. Not just new models, the company has also taken massive steps in terms of EV platform and technology, and has even opened up showrooms dedicated to selling its electric vehicles. Ahead of the launch of its latest electric offering, Punch.ev, Tata’s electric vehicle sub-division unveiled the new Acti.ev platform. Billed as a dedicated electric vehicle architecture, this modular platform can support multiple body styles and motor configurations including single-motor FWD, single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD formats.
