IIT-G develops technology to standardise e-vehicles for Indian conditions

Guwahati: Researchers from Electric Mobility Laboratory of Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati (IIT-G) here have developed a technology to standardise electric vehicles for Indian conditions and also help reduce carbon emission and fuel consumption.

“The technology developed by the institute rates the motors and batteries of electric vehicles and suggests to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) the best drive-train components for the Indian scenario. It is a unique method of its kind which standardises the electronic vehicles based on Indian drive-cycles,” a statement from the institute said Monday.

The research team led by Prof. Praveen Kumar from the department of electronics and electrical engineering, IIT-G, focused on Indian climatic conditions for both rural and urban areas.
