Mobec, a trailblazer in mobile EV charging infrastructure, has forged a strategic partnership with IILM University, an esteemed academic institution. The aim of the collaboration is to foster research and innovation in the development of hydrogen fuel cells as a primary source of power for EV battery charging. This collaboration is poised to redefine the landscape of sustainable energy solutions in India. With EV battery charging still heavily dependent on the coal powered electricity grid, the MoU will focus on developing an sustainable charging infrastructure with minimal carbon footprint.
While NITI Aayog expects to reach 70% EV market penetration for all commercial vehicles, 30% for private cars in India by 2030, according to the Ministry of Coal, approximately 75% of India’s electricity production is still dependent on thermal power. The landmark collaboration aims to reduce this dependency by leveraging Mobec’s growing EV infrastructure with IILM University’s R&D innovation in clean energy generation. At the forefront of cutting-edge research, the partnership will focus on a diverse array of projects centred around electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fuel cell technology.
By synergizing the strengths of both entities, this collaboration aims to conceive innovative products that align with the growing need and accelerated transition into more sustainable energy solutions. Mobec.io’s technological acumen will harmoniously complement IILM University’s technical insights and research support, resulting in transformative solutions.
Harry Bajaj, Founder & CEO of Mobec, emphasized that, “As Mobec’s mobile EV charging as a service is gaining significant traction, we wanted to be ahead of the curve in terms of innovation and finding the most sustainable solution within the EV ecosystem. The partnership with IILM University assumes a pivotal role in our journey, this collaboration underscores our commitment to technological advancement and the immense potential for innovation in the sustainable energy sector.”
The collaboration holds the promise of substantial benefits for the students at IILM University, offering them exposure to practical experience within forward-looking projects. By immersing themselves in the realm of sustainable energy, these students are poised to emerge as catalysts for transformative change. IILM University spokesperson, added that, “Our partnership with Mobec not only underscores our commitment to fostering innovation but also offers our students unparalleled opportunities for hands-on engagement with cutting-edge research in sustainable energy and EV solutions. We look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership and look forward to doing great things together.”
Mobec currently operates its mobile EV charging fleet in Noida with plans to soon expand into Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai. The factors in consideration while choosing cities are primarily the rising sales of electric vehicles, and real estate constraints in these markets.
