India’s push for electric mobility by 2030 is something that has to be considered to decide the right Mercedes-Benz products for the market in future but infrastructure is a key pre-requisite to enter the EV space, according to Daimler AG Member of Board of Management Britta Seeger.
ET Auto reported that for the future journey in India, the company is closely observing changing customer needs and is also constantly evaluating various options, including different drivetrains or different body styles.
“We are aware that India is strongly pushing into E-mobility by 2030. This is now something we have to take into consideration in order to see what could be the right product that fits the Indian market,” Seeger, who is responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Marketing and Sales, told PTI.
She further said, “Whether you do this with different drivetrains or with different body styles, this is a constant evaluation you need to do.” Seeger, however, emphasised on the need for a robust infrastructure for a successful roll-out of electric vehicles in India. “We need to observe to what extent the infrastructure is getting ready especially for E-mobility. And we see in other markets, that’s a key pre-requisite in order to enter E-mobility,” she said to PTI.
