M/s Electromotion E-Vidyut Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., a start-up based in Raipur, has received financial support from the Department of Science & Technology’s Technology Development Board (TDB) to develop and market “RetroKitTM: Electric Retrofitment Kits for Combustion Engine Vehicles.” In keeping with India’s sustainable transportation objectives, this innovation attempts to alleviate the enormous expenses associated with switching the nation’s fleet of combustion engine vehicles to electric ones.
Autorickshaws with internal combustion engines (ICEs) can be converted to electric vehicles with its flagship product, RetroKitTM. The kit has passed the Automotive Research Association of India’s (ARAI) rigorous testing, guaranteeing that it complies with all applicable regulations.
Important Features and Advantages of RetroKitTM:
- Economic Impact: Due to lower maintenance costs and the removal of fuel prices, drivers can see a 51% boost in daily income.
- Environmental Benefits: By planting 21 trees, each kit conversion lowers yearly CO2 emissions by about 3,000 kg.
- Broad Compatibility: The kit is compatible with a variety of makes and models and is intended for 3-wheeler autorickshaws that are older than five years.
- Excellence in Performance: The kit guarantees optimal performance, especially while carrying big loads, because to its high gradeability and top speed of 50 km/h.
The innovation’s compatibility with India’s sustainable development vision was highlighted by TDB Secretary Rajesh Kumar Pathak, who said, “RetroKitTM by Electromotion E-Vidyut is a revolutionary solution that addresses India’s critical mobility challenges.” This initiative highlights Antyodaya and Atmanirbhar Bharat, which use indigenous technology to empower marginalized populations.
With this project, Electromotion E-Vidyut Vehicles Pvt. Ltd. underscores India’s dedication to using technical innovation and independence to create a more sustainable and greener future.
