Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM), which is the division of the giant Tata Motors which has owned JLR since 2008, has presented its first advanced native electric architecture in India.
It is called Acti.ev and will debut in the coming months in the Punch.ev compact SUV which can already be ordered on that market.
"As a leader in the evolution of electric vehicles in India - said Anand Kulkarni, chief products officer of Tata Passenger Electric Mobility with responsibility for HV programs - we are proud to start 2024 by introducing a revolutionary development in the field of electric cars" .
“It's called Acti.ev and it's an advanced, made-in-India architecture that promises to be a trendsetter in the country's rapidly developing electric vehicle market. This architecture has been meticulously designed to deliver class-leading efficiencies, maximizing space, battery capacity and improving the overall driving experience."
“Globally ready and future-proof Acti.ev is a purely electric architecture, enabling the implementation of software-oriented features, ensuring that our vehicles are not only technologically advanced but also future-proof.”
The Acti.ev architecture is based on four key pillars: the Acti.ev powertrain, the chassis that can accommodate multiple body styles: the scalable electric architecture and finally the cloud architecture This architecture is based on a cloud architecture future-ready scalable that can leverage the Arcade.ev App suite.
In particular, the battery pack uses tested cells with 10% higher energy density in order to offer autonomy options from 300 km to 600 km.
The modular architecture offers a choice of AWD, RWD and FWD drive schemes and can support a 7.2 kW to 11 kW on-board charger for AC fast charging and DC fast charging up to 150 kW.
The second 'level' of Acti.ev is intended to accommodate multiple body styles (as demonstrated by the Punch compact SUV) with a reinforced structure capable of satisfying future GNCAP/BNCAP safety protocols.
maximizing cabin space with a completely flat floor.
The electrical architecture is instead ready for the future with higher computing powers and ADAS level 2 and even L2+ functionality.
