Tata Motors rolls out new EV powertrain tech

In a bid to speed up adoption of electrical vehicles, Tata Motors on Thursday unveiled a new technology platform aimed at finding solutions to concerns such as range, power, durability, safety and charging infrastructure.

Called ‘ZIPTRON’, this soon-to-be-introduced EV powertrain technology will power a range of Tata electric cars, starting with a new launch in Q4 of FY20. The ZIPTRON technology will primarily serve the personal segment. Currently, Tata Motors does not cater to the personal segment as far as EVs are concerned.

“With this technology, we hope to usher in a new wave of eMobility in India and accelerate faster adoption of EVs, supporting the government’s vision,” said Guenter Butschek, CEO & MD, Tata Motors.
