Brisbane-based electric vehicle charging technologies firm Tritium has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tata AutoComp Systems to supply Tritium’s Veefil-RT 50kW DC fast chargers to the Indian market.
The MoU comes as India pursues its Faster Adoption and Manufacture of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles Scheme (FAME), launched by the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in 2015 to incentivise the production and promotion of eco-friendly vehicles.
“At Tata AutoComp, it is our endeavour to bring the latest technology and solutions to our customers. With the augment of electric vehicles, the need for chargers capable of powering them is significant and we see a huge opportunity in this market,” India’s leading auto-component conglomerate managing director and chief executive officer Arvind Goel says.
Veefil-RT DC fast chargers are capable of charging the full range of electric vehicles – two wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, with Tata AutoComp saying it will soon make the DC chargers available in India.
“Tata AutoComp’s commitment to rolling out DC fast chargers for vehicles of all sizes is helping to put India ahead of the world in its drive towards a cleaner future,” Tritium co-founder and chief executive officer David Finn says.
Tata AutoComp, promoted by the Tata Group, provides products and services to Indian and global automotive OEMs as well as Tier 1 suppliers.
It has 36 manufacturing facilities across India and nine facilities across North America, Latin America, Europe and China, plus seven joint ventures with leading companies.
