Efforts on to bring out e-vehicle prices, says CESL CEO

Plans afoot for a three-wheeler electric vehicle for garbage removal
Having launched an electric two-wheeler sales scheme for government employees in Kerala, Convergence Energy Services Ltd. (CESL) is hoping to play a bigger role in helping the State chant the e-mobility mantra. The newly established subsidiary of the State-owned Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL) is planning an electric three-wheeler scheme for garbage removal trucks. The CESL is also in talks with the Kochi Metro Rail Limited for operating feeder buses for last-mile connectivity, its managing director and CEO Mahua Acharya told The Hindu on Wednesday. “We feel that Kerala consumers are ready (for e-vehicles). In the two-wheeler market there are plenty of options. We would like to promote electric three-wheelers for garbage disposal. Isn’t it a little bit ironic, using a diesel-powered vehicle to pick up the garbage? e-vehicles are silent and cleaner,” Ms. Acharya said.More Related News
