Tsuyo, has announced a dedicated production line for high-wattage electric vehicle (EV) powertrains at its Dharwad facility in Karnataka. This initiative, backed by an initial investment of USD 8 million, represents India’s first specialized production line designed to produce electric motors for commercial EVs, such as trucks, e-buses, e-trailers, and electric construction equipment.
The establishment of this plant is anticipated to greatly influence the Indian automotive industry by allowing commercial vehicle producers to benefit from the government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which promotes the utilization of localized components.
The new production line, set to commence operations within this quarter, is expected to launch six different categories of powertrain systems. Furthermore, the company is looking to invest an additional 2 million USD to enhance its research and development, along with testing and validation capabilities. It is anticipated that the facility will generate approximately 150 new jobs over the coming 18 months.
Tsuyo is becoming a prominent force in the electric mobility industry, focusing on the creation and manufacturing of sophisticated electric powertrains and drivetrain systems. Dedicated to innovation and sustainability, Tsuyo crafts solutions for various electric vehicles, encompassing two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles.
The company announced that the motors being produced will have a power range from 30 kW to 350 kW, catering to the advanced powertrain needs of heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and electric buses. “By providing advanced powertrain solutions locally, we are allowing manufacturers to leverage PLI benefits while supporting India’s goal of self-reliance in the EV industry”, said Tsuyo CEO Vijay Kumar.
The company is committed to promoting clean energy through the provision of high-performance, energy-efficient products that reduce carbon emissions and enhance vehicle efficiency. Tsuyo’s cutting-edge technology and strategic alliances are at the forefront of driving a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future in the transportation industry.
