About us

 Grinntech is promoted by three IIT Roorkee graduates.

• All major OEMs are investing heavily on R&D for EV products.
• With tightening pollution norms, OEMs continuously need to
invest heavily on current products to match norms.
• Governmental bodies are readily pressurising OEMs for
bringing out EV products.
• Many EV products are available in market but are not able to
achieve any scale due to customer disinterest.
• EV Products in market so far …
 Vikram EV by Scooter India Ltd - could not survive.
 BAJAJ’s project with USAID - never reached the market.
 TATA, TVS, Piaggio have EV products ready
 Mahindra
 Bijli - failed to penetrate into market.
 Maximo EV is ready to launch.
 Mahindra’s recharging stations are coming up but
E2O’s success story is yet to be heard of.

EVs – DEMAND OF THE FUTURE

Opportunity – Global Drive for Electric Vehicles

 It’s an irony that none of these products failed
due to any manufacturing defect or performance
constraint, but due to lack of operational
support, leading to following operational hiccups





Long Charging Time (6-8 hrs)
Lower Range (60-80 Km)
High Battery Cost
Short Battery Life

 As on date, OEMs are still striving to make their
mark in EV market.

PAIN POINT WE ADDRESS

All these products are yet to achieve scale


Conventional Petrol Pumps

Conventional 2 minute refill

 Grinntech
proposes
‘Twarit
Services’,
infrastructural support for EV recharging
 Battery swapping with cloud based smart
recharging,
 Vehicle ready to go again in 2-3 mins,
 Life long battery support
 No capacity / range anxiety
 It will take care of operational constraints
mentioned previously.
 Twarit Services will attract end users’ interest in
EVs and make it their preferred choice.

WHAT DO WE DELIVER?

GRINNTECH’S PROPOSITION - TWARIT SERVICES

 We have our LEV prototype ready. It’s an electric version
of modified Tata Ace(diesel).
 The vehicle is designed to facilitate 2 minute hassle free
battery swapping.
 The vehicle is up and running. It has already been run for
more than 150 Kms for range and capacity testing.
 Battery Swapping exercise has been tested for a quick
swap with a temporary Setup.
Twarit EV Conversion Kit
 As not many EV products are available in Indian market,
we have developed an EV Conversion kit which converts
an LCV into LEV.
 The kit has been named Twarit EV conversion kit and the
same is used for developing our first prototype.

What are the benefits ?

Benefits (A win-win for all stake holders)

 Our main competition will be gasoline, diesel and CNG
refilling stations
 No offerings similar to TwaritTM Recharging Services
currently in India.
 Big MNCs like Charge Point, Plug Share, Evgo Networks
etc may start operations in India on success of our
model.
 Green Volts is building an ERP system for charging point
owners and may provide service similar to ours on our
success.
