In a collaborative effort, original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers work together to create essential software solutions, including operating systems, middleware, and applications. Additionally, Tier 1 suppliers focus on developing specialised software solutions, such as connectivity features, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle experiences, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings. This partnership signifies a transition from hardware-focused collaborations to cooperative software development. The Auto EV India 2024 event is capitalising on this trend by uniting relevant companies in a single forum for discussions during the conference and showcasing their products and services to key stakeholders at the exhibition.

How is the expo positioning itself in the realm of advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology as a key alternative in the automotive sector?

Historically, the automotive sector predominantly relied on internal combustion engines. However, there is a significant shift towards hydrogen fuel cells as a replacement. The advantage of hydrogen fuel cells lies in their complete dependence on renewable energy sources, coupled with their high efficiency in energy generation. Additionally, they can be recharged in a remarkably brief period. 

The Auto EV Expo 2024 aims to showcase the latest innovations in the application of hydrogen fuel cells, facilitating discussions during the conference and subsequent exhibitions by participating companies. This event presents an exceptional opportunity to engage with the technical, marketing, and sales teams of relevant organisations.

How are government initiatives like the PLI Scheme and ACC Battery Storage impacting EV future in India, and how will Auto EV India 2024 contribute in this scenario?

The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage, initiated by the Government of India, is designed to significantly enhance the production capacity of electric vehicle batteries, targeting an output of 95 GWh. This initiative has been sanctioned with a financial allocation of ₹ 18,000 crore, positioning India as a potential global manufacturing centre. Consequently, this development is expected to decrease the country’s reliance on imports. The Auto EV India 2024 event will convene all prominent companies benefiting from this scheme, providing them with a platform to showcase their innovations at the exhibition. This gathering will facilitate interactions with various industry stakeholders and potential clients.
