Adarin builds hybrid drivetrains for cars

#News(Startup) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]

The car manufacturer, which has refused to be identified by name, has asked a Bengaluru based startup to build hybrid transmission for use in its existing compact car lineup. The idea behind the move is to develop a hybrid that is cheap enough to replace diesel variants that are likely to turn expensive when BSVI rules apply. Adarin Engineering Technologies, which specialises in hybrid and electric drivetrains, spent seven months developing what it calls the Motomatic Hybrid Transmission. It then built a prototype fitted with this hybrid drivetrain to prove it worked.

The decision to miniaturise the technology to work in compact cars, however, worked. The startup then built an early prototype using a Tata Nano, proving that the car was easy to drive and efficient at the same time. A top executive from the global carmaker, who took part in a test drive, asked Adarin if it could extend the technology to the company’s compact car models. The carmaker is currently running tests to validate if Adarin’s hybrid gearbox is able to meet efficiency targets before a commercial deal is signed.
