Hero Electric developing electric car
August 22, 2008 – 10:33 am by Charles PennefatherHero Electric, the manufacturer that specialises in electric two-wheelers, has plans to introduce an electric passenger car to India by 2013.
“In the next five years, we will be launching electric three and four wheelers here,” said Hero Electric Chief Executive Officer Sohinder Gill. He also stated that the company is currently carrying out research and working on prototypes of the models. The passenger car will not run on conventional batteries as that would make the running cost unfeasible. Hero Electric is looking at capacitors instead, which can be charged instantly and can keep the car going for longer distances. The company is testing the viability of the model in Indian conditions.
The car will be produced from Hero’s existing Ludhiana plant.
