Kalyani Powertrain Limited (KPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bharat Forge, has formalised its E-Mobility strategy, keeping in mind the needs of both domestic and international markets and customers.
The product portfolio offered by KPTL includes a whole array of EV solutions for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger cars, buses and trucks, ranging from providing selected sub-systems to complete electric powertrain solutions.
A communication from the company said that to assure sustained growth with a long-term view, investments have been made in advanced e-Mobility technologies. BFL and its subsidiary KPTL qualified for the Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) product range under the Government of India’s PLI initiative earlier this year.
KPTL is working on three different business verticals, including the Re-Powering of Commercial Vehicles, especially goods carriers. There is a large scope to offset fossil fuel emissions and reduce costs for the middle mile transport vehicles by repowering them with an electrified powertrain. KPTL’s purpose-built electric powertrain solutions address such demand very efficiently and smartly. This will be followed by manufacturing various components and subsystems such as DC/DC converters, EV transmissions and e-Axles, Traction Motors and Controllers, On-Board Chargers, and Vehicle Control Units, to name a few. Considering the prevailing challenges in the EV Start-up ecosystem in India, KPTL also offers White label manufacturing services for 2-Wheeler and 3-Wheeler start-ups which will enable them to smoothly ramp-up, to meet the demands of market volumes. Such services are already being offered to the 2-Wheeler start-up company, Tork Motors, for its two-wheeler motorbikes.
Amit Kalyani, Deputy Managing Director, Bharat Forge, said, “We have a three-pronged play in the e-Mobility space. First is the India play – Low voltage 2W-3W supply chain. The second is the global light-weighting opportunity where we have made large investments. We expect to see large growth, which will start ramping up from 2023-24 and continue till 2030 and beyond. The third is the power and control electronic products, that are being developed between India, Germany and the US which will grow our business exponentially. A complete suite of products will be offered with components, systems, and subsystems for CVs with GVW range between three to 14 Metric tonne.”
Through strategic investments and a dedicated team with experience in several sectors, KPTL has created considerable competence in clean and zero-emission transportation solutions, the communication added.
