15th
Edition of the Auto Expo-The Components Show 2020 by showcasing solutions for
electric mobility, connected vehicles, and light weighting.
With
its motto Perform@Change, the company’s technological prowess and manufacturing
capabilities were highlighted at their stall with three demonstration vehicles
– an electric scooter, an IC engine bike, and a car.
Varroc’s
indigenous solutions for electric vehicles include traction motor and
controller with industry-leading efficiency levels of 93% and 98% respectively.
The ingress protection ratings of IP67 for traction motor and IP65 for
controller make them ready to ride in any weather conditions. These, along with
the DC-DC converter and Battery Management System (BMS), provide a
comprehensive solution for today’s electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
The
company also showcased telematics solutions for connected mobility, which
combine Varroc’s proprietary hardware with software and data analytics
solutions from CarIQ - the Pune-based telematics company that Varroc acquired
last year. These solutions make a vehicle smarter by providing vital
information related to vehicle’s health, location and safety, thus making them
useful for vehicle owners, OEMs, fleet owners, and finance & insurance
companies. Varroc has also integrated its telematics solutions with instrument
clusters to provide on-the-go information to end users such as vehicle health
parameters and turn-by-turn navigation.
Varroc’s
capabilities in lightweighting were highlighted by the 2-meter wide front panel
of a truck, which is made of polymer instead of sheet metal, thus reducing the
weight by 65%. Also on display were the engine intake valves made of titanium
that are 40% lighter than regular steel valves, which reduces the Noise,
Vibrations and Harshness (NVH) levels and improves the fuel efficiency
significantly.
The
company also showcased the car headlamp housing they’ve developed using waste
coffee chaff. These parts are 20% lighter compared to conventional parts made
of talc and plastic and use 25% less energy during molding process, thus preserving
the environment and reducing their carbon footprint.
To
address the growing needs of fuel efficiency and safety, the company displayed
products such as Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), adaptive and static
bending headlights. The car headlight fitted with cameras, RADAR and LiDAR
scanners aids the driver with pedestrian-detection technology, thus making the
roads safer for everyone.
Tarang
Jain, Founder & Managing Director, Varroc stated on the occasion, “Varroc’s
engineering capabilities provide it an edge over its competitors. Our vision is
to capitalize on this edge to drive market share growth leveraging automotive
trends that remain constant, such as the desire to be greener, safer, smarter
and more connected. This vision is clearly reflected at our display at this
year’s auto expo.”
