By replacing the external energy supply with renewable energy from MSEDC, SAVWIP’s Aurangabad Plant has become the first automotive facility in the place
Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO, SAVWI, said, “Sustainability is a key pillar of the Group’s corporate strategy. It is also a cornerstone of our manufacturing processes.”
In the Volkswagen Group, ‘goTOzero’ is not only a roadmap for effective climate protection, it is also an integral strategic initiative towards sustainable mobility, he added.
