Reva Electric Car Company: shines in Automotive Industry

Global warming! Depletion of Ozone layer! Threat to the human life! Oooppppsss!!!! are lots of buzzing words around the world. Eco-friendly fuels, eco friendly clothes etc are the scientists’ oblations to the world. Now to these oblations one more item is added by the Reva Electric Car Company- Eco-friendly car. Reva Electric Car Company, a Bangalore based company, has managed to make its prominent footprints on the global automotive industry. Eco-conscious car users in Europe are surely going to enjoy the new experience of driving. This car company has switched on to two brand new battery powered electric cars which are destined to specially cater Europe and also in India if the authorities see the light of the day. It is the time first for an Indian built and designed vehicle to debut at the prestigious Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. It is quite obvious that Bangalore based company is now all set to explore the automotive sector, but it is not equipped enough for a neck to neck fight with the big honchos like Nissan Leaf or a GM volt or the Tesla sports car. These bigwigs are big in their market share and financial status as well, but this Bangalore based car company will surely bite in their market share in near future. The two new battery charged car are the Reva NXR (a four seater predominantly for India and emerging markets) and the Reva NXG (swelte two seater sports car) for Europe. The Reva NXG two seater coupe will also be available in an open topped cabrio version. The own proprietary technology of this company is creating niche for itself and boosting up its existing Reva G-Wiz. The NXR has added features in its working technology with both lead-acid batteries as well as the more powerful yet lighter but more expensive lithium ion batteries. The company has given edge over other electric cars by its patented the REVive Technology. This technology offers drivers to send a SMS whenever the batteries run out of juice while driving on the road. From the moment the SMS is received, the Reva boffins communicate with the car, wirelessly free up energy stored in various pockets in the drive system and help the vehicle home for recharging. The REVive tech is mostly algorithms which liberate ions and get the battery to reboot enough to get the car home. Reva expects to launch the Reva NXR on the domestic and international markets by January 2010 while the Reva NXG is being tooled up for series manufacture from January 2011.
