The future seems
to have finally caught up with the Indian auto industry which is increasingly
engaging with new, environment friendly driving solutions, if trends at the
ongoing Delhi Auto
Expo 2016 are anything to go by.
From two
wheelers to passenger and commercial vehicles, automakers seem keen to exploit
both electric and hybrid technologies. It also helps that a new government
incentive in April 2015, named Faster Adoption of Manufacturing of (Hybrid and)
Electric Vehicles in India (FAME), offers cash incentives to buyers and
manufacturers of such products.
The buzz around
electric vehicle started almost a week before the Auto Expo kicked off with two
major companies, Kinetic and Hero Electric, launching electric vehicles. While
Hero Electric launched scooters and a light dumper, Kinetic introduced an
indigenously designed, battery operated three-wheeler e-Auto named ‘Kinetic
Safar’. Pune-based Kinetic has already won an order worth Rs 400 crore to
supply 27,000 e-Autos to the Uttar Pradesh government over the next 12 months.
