CETL And Tsuyo To Develop EV Powertrains For India

China-based CETL (Contemporary Electric Technology Company Limited), an EV powertrain company, that's spun-off the world's largest EV battery manufacturer CATL, announced a multi-year partnership with Indian start-up Tsuyo to jointly develop high-end efficient EV motors and controllers for the Indian market ranging from 10 kW to 600 kW. The JV will spawn EV products that are specially developed for tough Indian terrain and weather conditions and create an edge over the currently available solutions which are directly applied without localisation to suit the conditions in India.
