By utilizing SUN Mobility’s battery-swapping technology, these retrofit kits offer a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to transition to electric mobility without the need for investing in entirely new vehicles.
The conversion process involves the integration of SUN Mobility’s swappable battery system, which allows for quick and easy battery replacement, reducing downtime and operational costs. This technology is particularly beneficial for fleet operators who require high vehicle utilization and cannot afford long charging times associated with traditional EVs.
The electric Tata ACE, powered by SUN Mobility’s technology, is expected to provide significant cost savings compared to its diesel and CNG counterparts. Operators can anticipate savings of up to 30% when compared to CNG vehicles and 40% when compared to diesel vehicles. Additionally, the electric Tata ACE is likely to have a longer operational lifespan due to the reduced wear and tear associated with electric powertrains.
One of the key advantages of the retrofitted
is its ability to operate during restricted hours in cities like Delhi, where pollution control measures limit the operation of diesel and CNG vehicles. This can lead to increased productivity for businesses that rely on their fleet for operations during these times.
The initiative is set to be launched initially in the National Capital Region (NCR) and is expected to expand to other states in India. Anant Badjatya, CEO of SUN Mobility, and Sanjiv Gupta, Founder & Chairman of Bluwheelz, have emphasized the environmental and operational benefits of this collaboration. They aim to provide a viable and sustainable solution for businesses looking to comply with government regulations promoting the adoption of electric vehicles while also offering tangible economic benefits.
