Fuel of the future

Fuel of the future

Electrification is a key pillar of the future of the Auto industry across the world. Not just the industry, but governments are setting targets for electrification. The environmental impact of this movement is going to decide how future generations will move, utilise energy and breathe clean air.

Nexcharge, an Exide Leclanche Energy Pvt. Ltd. brand, aims to lead the pack by doing just this. The company plans to become a leading provider of storage solutions for electric vehicles and energy storage applications in India, and will also contribute to developing solutions to increase the amount of renewable energy that is used and reduce India’s dependence on fossil fuels.

Nexcharge is targeting to make its module and battery pack manufacture assembly line operational by Q4-2019 and a lithium-ion cell production plant operational by 2022. The organisation will focus on e-transport, stationary energy storage systems and specialty energy storage markets.

Nexcharge announced the launch of its Disruptive Innovation Accelerator in Bengaluru earlier in June, where it partners with Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (RBEI). The centre, located at Bosch premises, was inaugurated by the management of Nexcharge.

In the first phase of operations, the centre is ramping up to 32 resources, and aims to double that figure in Phase 2. This will make it the largest lithium-ion battery pack design lab in India.

We are pleased to announce a partnership between Nexcharge and RBEI. We see this partnership as a natural extension of our quest to also be the leader in the lithium-ion battery industry, which is expected to grow significantly in the next few years.
