The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), the apex body of the Indian auto component industry, and Hero MotoCorp on Wednesday kicked off the two day EV Technology Expo in Jaipur.
Interestingly, it is for the first time that the apex body is organising a tech-show dedicated to components of Electric Vehicles.
According to a press release from ACMA, more than 35 auto components are participating in the EV tech-show and have put on display their latest technological innovations and products in the realm of motors, motors & controllers, inverters, DC-DC converters, battery technology, BMS, thermal management system, charger & charging systems, telematics & remote diagnostics, vehicle tracking systems, e-braking, energy recovery and digital stimulation technology, to name a few.
Dr Arun Jaura, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Hero MotoCorp, said, “This Expo is an extension of our commitment to ‘Make in India’ and promote the country as a global manufacturing base for future technologies. This ensures India’s self-reliance, reduces dependence on imports and naturally provides wider e-mobility options for everyone. Sustainability is pillar of our strategy and e-mobility will be an important lever in our journey.”
Vinnie Mehta, Director General, ACMA, noted that with the Indian government declaring net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, e-mobility has indeed caught the attention of the policy makers and consumers alike in India.
The transformation is very pronounced in two-wheelers and three-wheeler segments. As the market moves towards mass adoption of EVs and electrification of the fleet, it is an opportune time for ACMA members to contribute to creating a robust EV component ecosystem,” he added.
