In an inspiring leap towards sustainable innovation, final-year Mechatronics students of Tata Technical Training Institute (TTTI), have successfully designed and developed an eco-friendly electric four-wheeler, aiming to promote greener transportation solutions and contribute to India's electric mobility mission.
The project, a result of months of hard work and technical expertise, was led by Ankita Shrivastava and co-led by Vishal Sarkar, alongside team members Somil Dev Raj and Amitabh Kumar. Under the mentorship of Kaushal Kumar Thakur, and with the steadfast support of Principal Preeta John, CP15 Head of Department and Project Coordinator Ajit Kumar, and Section Incharge Manish Kumar, the students turned their vision into reality. NTTF R D Education expressed heartfelt gratitude to all involved for their invaluable guidance and encouragement.
The newly developed electric four-wheeler boasts several remarkable features: Eco-Friendly: Powered by a rechargeable battery pack, the vehicle operates without emitting harmful pollutants. Energy Efficient: It is capable of covering long distances on minimal energy consumption, showcasing cutting-edge efficiency.
Enhanced Safety: Equipped with advanced systems including regenerative braking, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ensuring safety without compromising performance.
Passenger Comfort: The vehicle features a spacious, comfortable interior, designed to accommodate both passengers and luggage with ease.
Speaking about the initiative, the student team shared that their primary objectives were to promote sustainable transport, improve energy efficiency, and enhance overall vehicle safety and comfort. With the successful prototype now complete, the team plans to further refine the design and explore opportunities for commercialization and large-scale production.
This milestone project also highlights the vital role educational institutions can play in nurturing environmentally conscious innovations. By integrating practical learning with real-world challenges, institutes like Tata Technical Training Institute are preparing students to be drivers of change for a greener future.
Meanwhile, the rising popularity of electric bikes (e-bikes) continues to signal a global shift towards eco-friendly commuting. E-bikes, powered by battery-assisted motors, make cycling easier and more accessible while producing zero emissions. As battery technology improves and costs decrease, e-bikes are becoming a viable option for both urban commuting and recreational riding, combining personal convenience with significant environmental benefits.
While the initial investment in electric vehicles and e-bikes may seem higher, the long-term savings on fuel and maintenance, combined with positive environmental impact, underscore their importance in the journey toward a sustainable and healthier planet.
