Be it in life, or in business, it always pays to be prudent. For example, in a recent conversation, an industry leader shared how his company limited production in his electric two-wheeler plant soon after the reduction in the FAME incentives to keep operational losses low.
Path to autonomous driving
Similar approach may be taken with regard to the autonomous technology development activities. ADAS is a hot, and growing trend, but the goal post has shifted for the roll out of full autonomous driving vehicles. Some believe that among the global technology megatrends, Connected Vehicle has progressed faster than expected, while Autonomous Driving is moving slower. At least partially perhaps for the right reasons, as it’s a highly complex game with big potential gains, and risks too.
Bosch has decided to downsize its software team strength over the next 2 years, and Autonomous Driving is part of the reason, as the report below says. Maybe, Autonomous Driving will come later than sooner.

India leads as an electric 2-wheeler hub
Indian electric two-wheelers, both from startups and well established OEMs, may not be scorching the streets globally, but they are said to be already leading the global pack, in all the key parameters. The following report by Shazil Hussain has more.

Leveraging technology to the hilt
That’s what Ather Energy, which has grown from a small startup, to a key player in the Indian electric mobility space over the past 10 years, plans to do. Find out from the company’s co-founder and CTO, Swapnil Jain, Ather Energy’s vision and plans for the next decade, and also what is contributing to India becoming a global electric two-wheeler hub, in the video chat below.

What does it take for EVs to be truly green?
Electricity from renewable sources may come to the top of the mind as the answer, but materials used in the vehicle also have a key role to play. Recyclability and reusability are increasingly important topics in vehicle manufacturing, be it ICE vehicles or EVs. When it comes to EVs, it’s very crucial for the battery pack to be recycled as much as possible. Kriti Saraiya takes a deep dive into this critical topic, in the story below.

Collaborating to be green
Smart recycling processes can help recover over 95% of the key materials of a battery pack. Collaboration for battery recycling is both a business opportunity, and need. Here’s a report on a recent example of collaboration between a battery recycler, and an emerging electric motorcycle maker. More should follow.

Shouldn’t strong hybrids also get a chance?
Some industry professionals, and technology experts say yes. And going by the offtake of strong hybrids in the marketplace, a section of consumers also seem to be voting for it. The mobility industry may go full electric eventually, but it may merit to offer consumers the technologies and let them decide for their own. As for the market opportunity, industry leader and Maruti Suzuki India’s CTO C V Raman says, as much as a fourth of the passenger vehicle market could be strong hybrids. Details in the report below.

Bolstering India’s testing infrastructure
As much as road infrastructure plays a role in the development of a country’s automobile market, infrastructure for testing and validation is also very crucial for the development of the domestic auto industry. Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), the nearly 60 year old automotive R&D organisation, plans to bolster its capabilities with investment for new infrastructure, some of which will also cater to non-automotive players too. Dr. Reji Mathai. Director, ARAI, discusses the plans in the video interview below.

As mentioned in the top section of this newsletter, the Connected Vehicle megatrend is growing at a swift pace, and exceeding the expectations of many. However, there’s still a lot of distance to cover for Connected Vehicle technologies to offer their full suite of benefits. And, there could be challenges too in this journey. Learn about all the opportunities, challenges, innovations related to the Connected Vehicle megatrend, from industry leaders and experts, at the ETAuto Connected Vehicle Summit, to be hosted at Holiday Inn, Aerocity, New Delhi, on February 15, 2024.
