New Delhi: SUN Mobility, a leading provider of universal energy infrastructure and services for electric vehicles (EVs), showcased a lineup of innovative urban mobility products and solutions at the G20 Deep Tech Conference held at the IISc Incubation Centre, in Bengaluru on Saturday.
As part of the exhibit, SUN Mobility displayed its Quick Interchange Station (QIS): a battery-swap station to swap depleted batteries, SWAP X: a newly launched, compatible battery dispensing unit, an electric two-wheeler, and a Piaggo e-auto that runs on SUN Mobility’s Smart Batteries.
The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, and the RBI Governor, Shaktikanta Das also visited the Sun Mobility facility in Bengaluru on Sunday and had glimpses of India’s innovations and contributions to mobility and energy solutions for the world.
The company’s Smart Batteries are interoperable across all vehicles equipped with the SUN Mobility swapping technology. Aligned with the G20 event theme of financial inclusion and exports, SUN Mobility’s exhibited scalable and affordable solutions.
“Financing for sustainable urban development is a serious real-world challenge that several countries want to address. As part of the G20 Deep Tech Conference in Bangalore, we showcased some of the most scalable and financially viable cleantech solutions that SUN Mobility offers. It is our DNA to indigenously build technologies and solutions that revolutionize not only urban mobility across the world, but also advance financial inclusion, and viability and positively impact the economy,” Anant Badjatya, CEO, SUN Mobility, said.
“Today, India stands at the forefront of electric mobility solutions and is bolstering the shift to clean energy transition. As the world comes together to embrace the electric mobility transformation, India is innovating solutions that are affordable, accessible, and available to the masses. It was a privilege to engage with Mr. Olaf Scholz and the German delegation on the advanced sustainable energy solutions we build in India, for the world,” Chetan Maini, co-founder and chairman, SUN Mobility, said.
The spokesperson for Chancellor Scholz said, “The Chancellor visited SUN Mobility, a company that offers comprehensive e-mobility solutions. He was introduced to the unique “battery swapping” concept, wherein commercial two-and-three wheelers do not need long charging times but can swap out their batteries in an instant. This is all the more important as two-and-three wheelers cause the majority of carbon emissions in the mobility sector in India.”
He added, “SUN Mobility could partner with German companies and possibly bring their concept to the European market. Already the German company Bosch has a 20% stake in SUN Mobility, a further symbol of Indo-German partnership in green mobility.”
SUN Mobility continues to transform urban mobility through offerings such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Battery as a Service (BaaS). The company also recently launched franchise models to empower micro-entrepreneurs.
