EKA Mobility and KPIT Technologies signed a memorandum of understanding on February 6, 2025, to develop electric powertrain technology components for commercial vehicles. The partnership will focus on creating traction motors, controllers, vehicle control units, and battery management systems.

EKA Mobility, a division of Pinnacle Industries Limited, has been developing electric commercial vehicles for the Indian market. KPIT Technologies brings three decades of experience in mobility technology solutions and has been working on indigenous electric powertrain development.

The partnership comes as India's electric commercial vehicle market experiences growth, driven by increasing demand for sustainable transportation solutions and government initiatives to reduce vehicular emissions. The electric bus segment, in particular, has seen significant adoption in public transportation fleets across major cities.
