Vayu Motors Brand EVs powered with LFP battery know-how gives superior security: Amit Reddy, Founder of Hyderabad based mostly Padmaja Greentech, EV Company
Padmaja Greentech is co-founded by a former Tesla government amongst others
It is in talks with MG automotive to contract manufacture the 2 wheelers at their Zaheerabad facility
Vayu Brand Electric Vehicles powered with LFP batteries present the perfect thermal and cycle life, which ends up in superior security over different batteries, stated Amit Reddy, Founder of Hyderabad based mostly Padmaja Greentech, EV Company, which manufactures “Vayu Motors” model EV Vehicles.
Padmaja Greentech was based by former Tesla government Rani Srinivas and Entrepreneur Amit Reddy.
As frequent battery fires solid shadow on the EV business, we wish to clear the air that our automobiles are the most secure, Amit Reddy reiterated in a press notice issued in Hyderabad in the present day.
Our LFP cell-based platform has been powering 3 wheelers for over 4 years with none incident of battery fires or security, in extremely demanding purposes. We are proud to introduce this know-how into the two wheeler platform very quickly and are assured that it could be setting a brand new benchmark in car security and reliability, Rani Srinivas, Co-Founder stated.
LFP battery (Lithium Ferro Phosphate), is a sort of lithium-ion battery. They are perfect for scorching tropical circumstances that prevail in India. They aren’t hazardous at excessive temperatures. They are excessive temperature and vibration resistant. They have an extended life span. The cells have a life span of up to 2000 cycles and are up to 5 years. It is a secure battery know-how. A report by Wood Mackenzie states that lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) is poised to overtake lithium-manganese-cobalt-oxide (NMC) because the dominant stationary storage chemistry throughout the decade.
LFP batteries have an intrinsically safer cathode materials than different batteries and don’t decompose at greater temperatures. Amid rising issues, lithium iron phosphate batteries that are nicknamed LFP batteries, use iron as a substitute of nickel — have emerged as a safer different.
Battery Electric Vehicle pioneer Tesla Motors can also be utilizing LFP as a battery chemistry for its automobiles to overcome provide chain associated points.
With zero incidents, we wish to prolong this know-how into the two wheeler platform. Padmaja Greentech below the model Vayu Motors goals to launch a scooter and a motorcycle this 12 months within the two-wheeler efficiency section.

MG Automotives is a big auto ancillary facility catering to the Bus Body necessities of Mahindra Trucks and Buses, Ashok Leyland Limited, APSRTC and the Private Customers.
Our metropolis pace scooter, “Retro” is already offered in Telangana and we plan to launch a efficiency scooter and bike throughout the subsequent six months. In the elements division, our stage 2 and 3 chargers are present process rigorous subject testing and must be launched this 12 months.” Amit Reddy added.
Adds Dr Rajesh Perisamy, Vice President, Product Development in NMC cylindrical cells we observed a lack of efficiency in heat circumstances and additionally lack of vitality and energy density as cells are charged greater than 500 instances. LFP based mostly battery packs have higher thermal behaviour and lesser cycle fatique as in contrast to different chemistries. Precisely because of this, we selected LFP pouch cells, which in our expertise proved to be the most secure kind issue and chemistry for Indian purposes. With the absence of nickel and cobalt, LFP has some great benefits of being much less inclined to provide chain volatility as in contrast to different cell chemistries, giving us a bonus in the long run”.
Sharing extra growth within the firm, Amit Reddy stated that the corporate has been growing a number of merchandise within the EV worth chain. On the elements vertical entrance, they’re within the superior levels of testing their stage 2 chargers, which they declare complies with EV charging requirements and can also be been deployed at a number of areas for subject validation. The stage 3 DC quick chargers are below growth and must be deployed by the year-end to facilitate charging in vehicles and buses. The firm intends to deploy over 500 chargers by the year-end in Hyderabad.
