Hyderabad-based ZERO21 Renewable Energy Solutions has launched 'Project Gagan', an EV exchange program for the rapid adoption of three-wheelers.

The plan offers owners of fossil fuel auto-rickshaws the option to retrofit their
vehicles into electric ones or exchange them for new electric three-wheelers. The retrofitting process, facilitated by a specially designed Conversion Kit, seamlessly converts any internal combustion engine (ICE) passenger three-wheeler to electric in less than four hours, as per the press release. 

Zero21 aims to target 100,000 autos as part of Project Gagan either through retrofitment or exchange to new electric autos in the next 5 years.

Project Gagan primarily targets auto-rickshaw owners and fleet operators with the core objective of enhancing health through reduced pollution and lower operating and maintenance costs, providing long-term financial benefits
to drivers.

Zero21 manufactures electric three-wheelers in  both L3 and L5 categories covering Passenger and Load Carrier Segments.
