Lucas TVS is impressing the show visitors with its solutions for a range of EVs across segments – autos, loaders and garbage vehicles besides two-wheelers. Manning the company booth was M. Padmanabhan, Marketing Manager, E-Mobility, who shared details about the company’s thrust on electrification.
Focus at Auto Expo 2020
Our focus has been trained on e-mobility solutions for the last few years and currently we are showcasing models in two and three-wheeler applications from 1 to 6 kw here at the show. We have chosen to showcase only e-mobility solutions at the expo because the world, and of course India, is moving towards a pollution-free space that too at reasonable costs. Lucas TVS is making its mark with robust efforts in this segment.
Products showcased
We have on display a 1-watt motor and controller in the L3 category for the e-rickshaw that is manufactured at our Pondicherry plant and it is already in regular production. It is being taken by many OEMs and assemblers. In the L5 e-auto category, we are showcasing two models of motors and controllers with 3-5.5 kw power, out of which one is a radial flux motor and the other an axial flux motor. Another interesting application is for electric two wheelers wherein we are showing central motor and traction motor types, besides hub motor with continuous power of 1.2 kw and 1.5 kw as the peak power. In future, we have plans to manufacture products for electric car and bus applications too.
Expectations from the show
In the last three days, we have been visited and appreciated by many OEMs and aftermarket executives. They have expressed happiness over our choice of showcasing EV solutions because they are already well aware of our conventional products and solutions.

Though there are many companies including start-ups foraying into the EV domain, Lucas TVS holds prestigious position because of its legacy in coming up with advanced technology in the automotive space at every strategic point in time. Lucas TVS brings cutting-edge technology along with engineering strength and product knowledge besides robust investment, all of which build up the reliability that our brand has and something that we continue to maintain at all costs.
