India is rapidly transitioning to environment friendly green mobility technology. This is evident from leapfrog move to Bharat Stage VI stringent emissions norms, by just providing a mere window of three years to the automotive industry. The challenge is not to manufacture new subsystems but is getting customized emission solution technology tested and validated for Indian conditions to meet BSVI emission norms by April 2020. With reference to recent reports published by NITI Aayog (Government of India Think Tank), xEV’s can be incentivized and promoted as an emission free solution. With internal combustion engine complex architectures to meet BSVI emission norms and proposed government incentive, many passenger car OEM’s are considering electric vehicle (EV) powertrain development. In view of this, a study was envisaged to estimate EV powertrain challenges for Pune (India) city real world driving conditions.
