Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India is moving fast and will become the world’s third-largest economy in the “third term” of his government.
Addressing industrialists at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 here, the PM said the auto and automotive component industry will play a significant role in making India a global economic powerhouse.
The expo has an extensive display of technologies and solutions in the commercial vehicle space. However, in comparison, the passenger vehicle and two-wheeler segment had few launches.
Mahindra & Mahindra showcased the Supro Profit Truck Excel (less than two-tonne segment), and last-mile mobility solutions such as the Treo Plus and Zor Grand electric three-wheelers, and a prototype of its flex-fuel technology (ethanol plus gasoline). Rajesh Jejurikar, executive director & CEO, auto & farm sectors, M&M, said the focus has been on the mantra of “make in India for the world”.
Tata Motors displayed 10 trucks, buses, tippers and small trucks. It also displayed future-ready technologies such as hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, twin-cylinder CNG, efficient fuel delivery systems, battery electric powertrains and hydrogen fuel cell. Girish Wagh, executive director, Tata Motors, said the company is leading India’s transition towards zero-emission technology. Volvo and its partner VECV focused on electrification, both displaying electric trucks. Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO, VECV, said the firm is in advanced trials for e-trucks in express cargo movement.
