Hitachi Energy, Ashok Leyland, and IIT Madras Team Up for Groundbreaking E-Bus Flash Charging Pilot Project

Hitachi Energy India, Ashok Leyland, and IIT Madras are collaborating on an innovative e-mobility pilot project, slated to be completed in a few months. This project utilizes Hitachi's flash-charging technology, enabling an electric bus to be charged in just 20 seconds. The technology, which significantly reduces operational costs and optimizes efficiency, was first introduced in Geneva a decade ago. The pilot is part of Hitachi Energy’s broader commitment to advancing electric mobility in India.
