Uno Minda EV Roadmap
The impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on the automobile industry has been substantial. EVs have driven market growth and competition, leading to increased investment in EV technology and manufacturing. Technological advancements in areas such as batteries and power electronics have improved vehicle performance and efficiency. The adoption of electric vehicles has also helped reduce emissions and address environmental concerns. This shift has prompted changes in automotive supply chains, with a focus on sourcing EV components. Additionally, the growth of EVs has prompted investments in charging infrastructure and created new job opportunities. Overall, the emergence of electric vehicles has disrupted traditional business models, leading to adaptations and collaborations within the industry.
As the automotive industry shifts towards electric mobility, Uno Minda Group has adapted its product offerings to cater to the evolving needs of the market. By offering EV-agnostic products, the Group positions itself to serve a diverse customer base and cater to the varying demands of the automotive market. This strategy allows them to support the transition to electric vehicles while continuing to meet the requirements of traditional vehicle manufacturers.
Uno Minda is following a two-prong strategy on EV:
- Upgrade / enhance / adapt our current products for EV specific applications
- Develop new EV specific products which are currently not in the Uno Minda portfolio
