Hyderabad-based ZERO21 Renewable Energy Solutions unveils the debut of Project Gagan. Zero21 aims to target 100,000 autos as part of Project Gagan either through retrofitment or exchange to new electric autos in the next five years.
Project Gagan is an unprecedented plan offering owners of fossil fuel autorickshaws the option to retrofit their vehicles into electric vehicles or exchange them for new electric three-wheelers. The retrofitting process, facilitated by a specially designed conversion kit, converts any internal combustion engine (ICE) passenger three-wheeler to electric in less than four hours.
As part of ZERO21's vision to uplift the image of the three-wheeler and facilitate faster services, the company has introduced Roadside Assistance (RSA) with a unique theme.
Rani Srinivas, Founder and CEO of Zero21, said, “Through Project Gagan, we have laid a platform for a faster transition into EVs for all our potential 3-wheeler customers across the country, playing our part in achieving Sustainable Development Goals, which resonates with our motto of Driving Differently. Our intent is simple: Bharath badal raha hai ab 3 wheeler bhi badlega."
Zero21 is a manufacturer of electric three-wheelers based in Hyderabad, operating in both L3 and L5 categories, covering both passenger and load carrier segments. The Zero21 product range includes an indigenously developed and approved “Retrofit” kit for 3-wheelers that can convert existing ICE engine passenger autos into electric in less than four hours, the company stated in a release.
