Advik Hi-Tech Pvt Ltd, one of India's leading and global automotive component manufacturers, showcased its pioneering range of products at the Auto Component Expo, a part of Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, which is being hosted from 18 to 21 January at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.  The company unveiled cutting-edge solutions in electric pumps, advanced braking systems and scaleable battery packs for mobility and energy storage sectors.

The electric pumps from Advik improve the efficiency of hybrid and electric vehicles while transforming internal combustion engine (ICE) platforms. By lowering engine load, increasing economy and lowering emissions, these pumps provide a sustainable transition for all vehicle classes.

Advik's 48V ABS brake solutions are designed exclusively for electric vehicles and high-performance motorbikes, building on the industry-standard 12V systems. These cutting-edge braking systems are perfect for EV applications since they do not require a DC/DC converter, which lowers system complexity and expense.

Lithium-ion battery packs from Advik may be upgraded, serviced and used in a variety of ways. These battery packs offer second-life use scenarios and have no welded elements, which promotes sustainability. These solutions, which were first centred on two-wheelers, will eventually include all vehicle types. Battery packs in the energy storage market provide scaleable and reliable solutions to the telecom and other sectors.

Aditya Bhartia, Managing Director, Advik Hi-Tech Pvt Ltd, said, “At Advik, we are committed to shaping the future of mobility with cutting-edge solutions that address today’s performance needs while building a cleaner, greener tomorrow. Our innovations in electric pumps, braking systems and energy storage technologies underline our dedication to building Make in India solutions demonstrating technological excellence and sustainability.”

German technology company Bosch has received a major contract from Mercedes-Benz to supply electric motors into the 2030s for the premium carmaker’s next generation of electric powertrains.

The announcement follows a strong operational period in 2025 during which Bosch secured more than 70 e-mobility customer projects globally. The supplier currently provides electric vehicle technology and solutions to more than 50 automotive manufacturers worldwide.

The e-motors are built on a scalable platform architecture, allowing the length of the motor to be adjusted depending on the required power output. This flexibility permits integration into various vehicle models and axle variants.

Bosch claims its motors achieve up to 98 percent efficiency due to updated winding technology. The units utilise an innovative rotor oil cooling system to optimise heat dissipation. The compact design combines high efficiency and optimised cooling to reduce overall weight, installation space, and system costs.

The German tier 1 supplier targets the production of more than 7 million components for electric vehicles in 2026, with an existing manufacturing rate of approximately seven electric motors per minute globally.

For the Indian market Bosch has formed a joint venture with TataAutoComp Systems to develop, commercialise and manufacture e-axles specifically for the domestic market.

In China, Bosch serves more than 30 customers, working with almost all domestic car manufacturers alongside international brands operating in the region.

The company's portfolio spans from silicon carbide chips to complete powertrain setups, including ‘X-in-1’ solutions that bundle the electric motor, power electronics, transmission and energy management into a single system.

Markus Heyn, Member of the Bosch Board of Management and Chairman of Bosch Mobility, said, “The new order reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Mercedes-Benz and shows that we can successfully contribute our expertise to technologically demanding projects as well. We win over customers with our core competence of being able to develop and manufacture complex technology in large quantities with significant economies of scale worldwide. We deliver electric-driving solutions to all markets around the world.”

Marco Zehe, President of Bosch’s Electrified Motion division, added, “We already work with almost all Chinese car manufacturers, as well as with numerous international automakers operating in China.”

Bengaluru-based electric vehicle start-up Emobi has announced that its upcoming model, the AKX, will be powered by the e-axle EV drive unit developed by Musashi Seimitsu Industry. This marks the second collaboration between the two companies, following the launch of the Kyari model in November 2025.

The partnership aims to address the specific demands of India’s electric two-wheeler and last-mile mobility sectors. The integration of Musashi’s e-Axle technology is designed to improve vehicle acceleration, torque and overall efficiency, providing performance that is competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles.

Naoya Nishimura, CEO, Musashi India & Africa Regions, said, “At Musashi, we are focused on developing next-generation mobility technologies that address the evolving needs of electric transportation. We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with Emobi through the AKX, which is the second model to integrate our e-axle technology. India’s EV ecosystem presents significant opportunities, and we believe our e-axle solution can help enable performance, efficiency and a smoother riding experience tailored to the requirements of Indian consumers.”

Musashi’s e-Axle utilises proprietary reduction gear technology, drawing on the company's experience in transmission manufacturing.

The drive unit will come with high pick-up torque and smooth acceleration. It will be designed to provide quiet operation and reliability for urban and commercial use. It is said to be engineered for real-world Indian riding conditions.

Bharath Rao, CEO and Co-Founder, Emobi, added, “AKX has been designed with the needs of India’s electric mobility market in mind. The integration of Musashi’s e-axle technology enhances the vehicle’s acceleration, torque and overall riding experience, while staying focused on efficiency and reliability.
