VTRO Motors is positioning itself as a game-changer in the electric vehicle (EV) industry by offering a robust and integrated package of software and hardware solutions that address some of the most pressing challenges in EV development, battery management, and charging infrastructure.
As the demand for EVs grows rapidly, especially in India, VTRO’s AI-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform provides valuable insights that help manufacturers optimize battery performance, reduce costs, and enhance customization.
Their universal IoT-enabled module, which can be retrofitted to any EV battery, tracks critical performance metrics and predicts potential issues like thermal runaways, significantly improving battery safety and longevity. In addition, VTRO’s scalable hardware solutions for charging stations aim to provide a more accessible, cost-effective, and adaptable infrastructure, catering to the evolving needs of the EV market.
With the company’s phased rollout over the coming months, it will not only provide valuable real-time data on vehicle and battery performance but also help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across India, particularly in tier 3 and tier 4 cities where infrastructure is lagging behind. By enhancing market intelligence, improving connectivity, and streamlining the EV ecosystem, VTRO Motors is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of electric mobility in India.
Phase-Wise Rollout Strategy for tracking the Consumption of EV Batteries
Phase 1: AI-Based SaaS Services
VTRO’s AI-powered SaaS solutions enable EV manufacturers and battery producers to optimize customization, reduce costs, and enhance connectivity. The system collects and analyzes data to help manufacturers improve the efficiency and performance of EV batteries.
Phase 2: IoT Module for Battery Monitoring
EVs are becoming more popular in India, but there are still some pain points, like the lack of charging infrastructure. VTRO has created a universal, AI-enabled IoT module that can be added to any electric vehicle (EV) battery on the market. This module collects data on the battery’s performance, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of the innovation and overall effectiveness of EV batteries. As battery production is a costly process, this information could benefit industry players.
The IoT module developed by VTRO features unique cell-level tracking technology that can predict thermal runaways. This functionality is crucial as it can help the industry prevent future fire incidents. As the number of batteries increases on the machine learning platform, the data will give much more accurate predictions.
The upcoming phase of the rollout involves updating the IoT module to monitor the performance of electric vehicles. This will enable manufacturers to access immediate data on how durable and adaptable these vehicles are on different terrains, as well as gain insights into consumer usage patterns and potential modifications that could improve the user experience. In the final phase, VTRO will be launching the charging and swapping station hardware support, which can be customized to the manufacturer’s requirements.
Phase 3: Scalable Charging Infrastructure
In the final phase, VTRO will launch customizable hardware solutions for charging and swapping stations, catering to diverse manufacturer requirements. This phase aims to establish a robust and scalable infrastructure to support the growing number of EVs in India.
According to Pranit Parekar, Co-founder & CTO of VTRO Motors, there is currently a lack of holistic market intelligence or real-time reports on the usage and performance of EVs or batteries, or intuitive trackers for consumer preferences and needs. The company aims to use its AI solutions to narrow the gap in market knowledge and improve the demand-supply chain.
Addressing India’s EV Challenges
India’s EV adoption faces hurdles, particularly a lack of charging infrastructure and market intelligence. VTRO’s solutions aim to bridge these gaps:
- Real-Time Data Tracking: The IoT module provides instant insights into EV durability and adaptability on various terrains.
- Consumer Behavior Analysis: VTRO’s platform offers manufacturers actionable data on user preferences, enabling tailored improvements.
- Improved Safety: Cell-level tracking ensures battery safety, mitigating risks associated with thermal runaway incidents.
The Growing EV Battery Market in India
The Indian EV battery market, currently valued at $1.5 billion, is projected to grow to $8 billion within the next five years. With SaaS solutions like VTRO’s, the EV sector is poised to expand its reach and efficiency, ensuring sustainable growth and accessibility across the country.
