BIS Sets New Safety Standards for EVs

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced new safety standards for electric vehicles (EVs) in India, marking a significant stride towards bolstering road safety and fostering the growth of the EV sector. These standards encompass a wide array of crucial elements related to EV design, manufacturing, and operation, with the primary objective of enhancing vehicle safety, reliability, and overall performance.

One of the key areas addressed by these standards is the safety of EV batteries, which play a pivotal role in the functioning and safety of electric vehicles. The guidelines set by BIS include specifications for battery safety, handling, and performance to ensure that EV batteries meet stringent safety criteria, reducing risks associated with battery-related incidents.

In addition to battery safety, the new standards also focus on charging infrastructure safety, covering aspects such as charging station design, electrical safety measures, and compatibility standards to facilitate safe and efficient charging experiences for EV users across India.

Furthermore, the standards introduced by BIS encompass vehicle safety features, including crash safety norms, structural integrity requirements, and performance criteria for EV components such as braking systems, electronic controls, and overall vehicle stability.

By implementing these comprehensive safety standards, BIS aims to instill greater confidence among consumers and industry stakeholders regarding the safety and reliability of electric vehicles. This move is expected to drive increased adoption of EVs in the country while ensuring a robust framework for the development and deployment of safe and sustainable mobility solutions.

Overall, the introduction of these new safety standards by BIS signifies a proactive approach towards addressing the evolving needs of the electric vehicle ecosystem in India, emphasizing the importance of safety, quality, and performance in shaping the future of transportation.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
