BIG boost to EVs! Altigreen makes electric vehicles suitable for Indian roads, weather- Here's how

Air pollution has been on a rise consistently in the country, be it in the national capital region due to stubble burning or in other parts of the country due to pollution from vehicles, factories, etc. Vehicles are a major pollution contributor, producing significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other harmful emissions. Hence, as a measure to curb pollution from vehicles, electric buses, EV two-wheelers, and four-wheelers came into being with the 'EV wave' in the country. Though, most EV makers are focusing on making 2-wheeler or 4-wheeler EVs, Altigreen is focusing on making 3-wheeler cargo EVs for better transportation facilities. The EV maker creates and tests everything in their facility.

We recently visited the Altigreen's factory in Malur, Bengaluru, and here's how the EV makers are focusing on bringing a change. From designing the product in India to making batteries as per Indian weather conditions/ temperature, Altigreen is producing three-wheeler cargo vehicles that are meant for Indian roads.
