 SOLUTION
1. Idea Generation
Renewable energy has great scope in India. The automobile industry is
one of them, Automobile sector has taken several giant steps in this
direction around the world recently but Indian market is still at an infant
stage. As compared to other countries, the market share of electric
vehicles is extremely low in India. But the government target for 30%
adoption of electric vehicles by 2030. Keeping this is in mind we are
introducing “Vayu” an electric two wheeler which will fulfill all

3. requirements of the costumers. And also we are ready with our prototype
as two members of our team have already worked upon it previously.
2. Screening of Idea
The two-wheeler market in India is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of
7.33%, and reach a sales volume of 24.89 million units by 2024, from
21.19 million in 2019. The Indian electric scooters and motorcycles
market generated revenue of $80.0 million in 2018, and it is expected
to register CAGR of 36.3% during the forecast period. Government
incentive schemes, growing distributor & dealership network,
increment in online sales, and increase affordability of electric two
wheelers by costumers provide a lead to automobile sector to
manufacture the two-wheeler that would boost-up the demand for
electric two wheelers in India.

4. 3. Concept Development & Testing
Key components of our electric two-wheeler VAYU:
 Frame
 Motor: A 72 V Advanced DC motor is used, smaller in size,
able to self start, more efficient, because it’s weight and
dimensions were good for the frame.
 Batteries: D51 model with capacity of 48 V, 12 Ah
 Controller: It controls the BLDC motor. Also it increase
efficiency, reliability and extend the battery life time.
 Charger: It contains a plug that connect electric vehicle
batteries to an electric source, providing the batteries with
electrical energy.
 DC/DC Converter: It’s safe to run with a DC/DC converter
and an extra 12V battery backup. The Iota DLS-55 is the
best option.
 Contactor: This is a device that we hook up to your existing
key ignition on 12Volts and it will close the loop so we get
the full power to your controller.
 Battery cable and connectors.
 Instruments: Electrical tape, Wire connectors, Wire wrap,
etc.
4. Marketing Strategy Development

related to different vehicles has increased in a given
environment. So to overcome this issue we are introducing
such electric vehicles that can provide with similar
performance, quality, and also assist in controlling
pollution in a given environment
 Price: Keeping in mind certain features of the product
such as technology, design, style, and other such features it
is important to deliver the message of sustainability to the
intended customers through utilization of such vehicles
effectively. So the price would be range between 1lac to
1.15 lacks which is affordable for middle class in today
world. The customers will be able to afford such products
and hence the company can thereby target to a larger
segment.
 Place: The place is the most important part for any
organization as one has to check the raw material
availability, easy transportation, availability of labour at
lower cost, huge market, etc.

 CONCLUSION
The designed series electric two-wheeler vehicle in simulation meets
standard vehicle performance with a significant increase in eco-friendly and
an overall reduction in use fossil fuel (petrol). The power train has been
proven to work in a real world environment and is capable of being installed
in a two-wheeler vehicle. As a more versatile hybrid, the vehicle is fully
functional with today’s infrastructure and state of the art charging stations.
The estimated performance, eco-friendly, as well as the construction and
testing of the vehicle demonstrate the viability of the power train design.
