This unit has been co-developed by Sirius Cleantech in association with leading Indian OEMs, as it added before continuing that it works with the vehicle’s existing manual transmission. Once converted, the kit delivers an actual range of 160km with a 1200kg payload while achieving a top speed in excess of 75 kmph for the commercial vehicle application and an actual range of 180 km for the passenger vehicle conversion while achieving the same top speed as before the conversion.
