RV College of Engineering Develops PHEV for India
13 June 2008
Cirol. Students at the RV College of Engineering, Bangalore have developed India’s first indigenous plug-in hybrid for city roads—a REVA electric vehicle converted to a biodiesel-burning PHEV.
Called the Chimera, the PHEV is the result of a collaboration between the university and companies including REVA, National Instruments, and Bosch.
The REVA has been fitted with a 440 cc diesel engine sourced from Lombardini India and houses a hybrid controller. National Instruments (NI) supported the students with virtual instrumentation software, hardware and technical training for design and testing of the project. Bosch provided both technical and monetary aid for the project.
