Lucas TVS, part of the TVS Group, made an electrifying presence at the show demonstrating its future-readiness for both the electric mobility drive and the BS-VI shift the country is set to witness in the coming years.
Sharing his views, a jubilant Mr. Arvind Balaji, Joint Managing Director, Lucas TVS, said: “For us, this year’s Auto Expo is all about where we are going – we have showcased our BS-VI solutions focusing on fuel efficiency and emission control along with our futuristic electrification solutions which we are ready to offer right now. We are a mechatronics company and have demonstrated our product and technology strengths here at the show.”
Lucas TVS has lined up four e-rickshaws equipped with its e-Drive at the venue for business associates and visitors to experience the smooth ride delivered by an India-developed and manufactured electric motor and controller. The company has been developing the technology for the last four years and plans to enter into production by the end of this year. It is currently setting up a trial line and will be commencing supplies to the domestic market by year-end.
Alongside the e-rickshaw fitted with Lucas TVS’ e-Drive, a BS-VI ready two-wheeler developed by India Nippon Electricals Ltd. (INEL), a subsidiary of Lucas-TVS, was displayed. The two-wheeler is a demonstration of how a highly-advanced connected vehicle would look like and has been developed in cooperation with INEL’s partner companies MAHLE and Athena.
