Amid a sustained government push and increased acceptability of electric vehicles (EV), the Pune-headquartered Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has licenced out multiple technologies to automotive OEMs.
Reji Mathai, director of the institute, while speaking to the media on Tuesday, said multiple technology transfers have taken place in spheres like battery management system, light-weighting of the beam and strapable batteries.
Electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and clean energy vehicles are some of the sectors being encouraged by the government. Improved technology has increased the efficiency of these vehicles with all major OEMs getting their vehicles on the road. Till date, 1,20,658 EVs have been sold in India with incentives being paid being more than Rs 384.45 crore.
