Vehicle test facility, engineering course add to electric vehicle ecosystem

As automotive OEM companies take calibrated steps towards electric-mobility, the ecosystem around them is getting ready for e-mobility. From industry research bodies to engineering colleges and academia, all stakeholders seem to be working out plans to prepare for the electrification journey.

The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has been working on setting up a Centre of Excellence for e-mobility in Pune to offer facilities for developing, testing, validating and certification of electric vehicles, systems and components for electric vehicles.
KC Vora, senior deputy director of ARAI and ARAI Academy, said these labs would be operational from October.
