NEW DELHI: Chetan Maini-led Sun Mobility on Tuesday launched a swappable battery station for two and three-wheeler electric vehicles at its brand new 47,500 sq. ft. technology development centre in Bengaluru.

The energy infrastructure platform is a first-of-its-kind universal architecture solution that works across various two and three-wheeler vehicles.

The platform enables electric two and three wheelers to be cost neutral versus conventional diesel/petrol ones.

This platform will be offered in collaboration with multiple OEMs and solution providers and will support a range of new models as well as retro-fit applications.

This solution is being launched just two months after Sun Mobility showcased its smart mobility solution for buses, in partnership with Ashok Leyland at Auto Expo 2018.

Speaking on the occasion, Uday Khemka, co-founder & vice chairman of Sun Mobility, said: “As we move forward on our global mission to enable mass transportation fueled by clean electric energy, we’re happy to showcase the diverse technology portfolio that can redefine the future of mobility.”

“By enabling the electrification of two-wheelers, three-wheelers and buses through our comprehensive smart mobility ecosystem, we are addressing the current urban mobility crisis and consciously exploring solutions to change the way the world commutes,” Khemka added.

The company, along with its partners, plans to roll out this network of Quick Interchange Stations in a phased manner across various major cities, thus enabling customers to adopt electric mobility using an innovative pay-per-use model that reduces not only their initial cost of purchase but also overall operating cost.

“With over 18 million two-wheelers and three-wheelers sold in the country last year, we have introduced the world’s first interoperable solutions for electric two and three-wheelers that will transform the way people commute,” said Chetan Maini, co-founder & vice chairman of Sun Mobility.

“Sun Mobility is enabling the electric mobility ecosystem in the country by offering solutions that are convenient, cost-effective and scalable,” he added.
