Ashok Leyland and Nidec join forces to revolutionize India’s commercial electric vehicle landscape with cutting-edge E-drive motors.
Ashok Leyland, a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has partnered with Nidec, a Japanese company specializing in electric motors and electronics, to develop and manufacture advanced electric drive (E-drive) motors for commercial electric vehicles (EVs). The partnership aims to further boost the adoption of EVs in the Indian market. Under the agreement, Nidec will supply E-drive motors to Ashok Leyland for their upcoming range of electric buses, trucks, and light commercial vehicles. The E-drive motors will be designed to provide higher efficiency, lower noise levels, and improved performance compared to traditional internal combustion engine-based vehicles. The partnership will also help Ashok Leyland to reduce its carbon footprint and comply with forthcoming emission regulations. The E-drive technology will be rolled out in a phased manner, starting with the introduction of electric buses in 2023. The partnership is expected to enable Ashok Leyland to offer more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions to its customers.
