We have been doing serious development work
We have been doing serious development work to ensure we can offer a mass
market EV product that delivers on safety and high performance. "First that it
may be impractical to target such a scale when none of the stakeholders
currently possesses any meaningful experience with any of the pieces of the
electric vehicle (EV) puzzle," Bajaj noted.
Auto industry body SIAM has also
advised the government to follow a well laid-out roadmap and a practical time
frame for the rollout of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country. TVS Motor
Company Chairman Venu Srinivasan said, To force an unrealistic deadline for mass
adoption of electric two and three wheelers, will create consumer discontent.He
added that an appropriate middle path would be in the first phase to target such
a changeover through corporate average fuel efficiency (CAFE) norms, electric
vehicles for all vehicle categories from a particular date such as 2023 or 2025
starting with the most polluted cities of India.Secondly, it is ill-timed to
target date so close to BSVI implementation, he added.
Basis the learnings from
that experience a collective plan can be put together to scale up as desired,"
Bajaj said.. New Delhi: Leading two-wheeler makers Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor
Company said on Monday that any plan to ban internal combustion engine
three-wheelers and two-wheelers to adopt electric ones by 2025 would be
"unrealistic" and "ill-timed" and derail auto manufacturing in the country.
Industry chamber CII on Sunday said the government should carry out wider
consultations before finalisation of goals and timelines for electric vehicles.
This is necessary to co-opt consumers into making a switch, so it&single phase
motors Suppliers39;s driven by consumer willingness and, therefore, adopted
easily and widely.TVS Motor Company Chairman Venu Srinivasan said, "To force an
unrealistic deadline for mass adoption of electric two and three wheelers, will
not just create consumer discontent, it risks derailing auto-manufacturing in
India that supports 4 million jobs. He listed out three execution-related
concerns with the reported initiative."The auto industry globally is still a
long way away from all of this, as is India, he highlighted.Bajaj Auto Managing
Director Rajiv Bajaj in a statement on Monday termed the reported government's #
plan as impractical and ill-timed. The supporting infrastructure for charging
also needs to be as robust as conventional fuel options.Comments come in
response to some media reports that government was considering a proposal to ban
sale of ICE vehicles." There is a need for gradual and seamless adoption of EVs
to avoid such collateral damage and ensure our technology-driven disruption is
positive and lasting, he added.The comments come in response to some media
reports that the government was considering a proposal to ban sale of internal
combustion engine (ICE) three-wheelers by 2023 and less than 150 cc two-wheelers
by 2025. "And finally, to target two and three wheelers but not cars etc makes
it an incomplete initiative," Bajaj said
