Simple Energy has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-Indore) to produce an advanced thermal management system technology for Simple One scooter and upcoming products.
“The collaboration with IIT Indore will boost Simple Energy’s R&D and aid in the integration of lightweight vehicles with high-performance (composite) materials to reduce range anxiety and accelerate consumer demand in line with government standards,” it said.
Simple Energy is a two-year-old Bengaluru-based startup that focuses on electric vehicles (EV) which plans to enhance the dependability, lifespan, and safety of the battery modules of its products.
Suhas Rajkumar, founder, and CEO, Simple Energy, said, “Currently, users are aware of the severity of the battery issues. Manufacturers need to develop new technology for the users’ safety. While the global EV market started looking for an option to tackle thermal runaway issues; Simple Energy is one step ahead on this. Our research team collaborated with IIT-Indore for developing the best optimal solution to address the issues.”
I A Palani, dean R&D, IIT Indore, said, “IIT Indore has collaborated with Simple Energy for this advanced technology application in thermal management systems. This tie-up will ensure to take the R&D to greater heights as it involves scholars from both teams. By completing such projects, Simple Energy will undoubtedly lead R&D and technology in the EV industry in India. We look forward to more such projects in the future with team Simple.”
The company also aims to invest Rs 2500 crores ($330 million) in the state of Tamil Nadu for establishing the country’s biggest electric two-wheeler facility in Dharmapuri.
