Tata Motors has announced that it will supply Tigor electric vehicles to Cognizant for deployment in the latter’s Hyderabad campus.

The company has partnered with Voler Cars, a mobility solutions company, to deliver this integrated solution with value-added services. A batch of 10 vehicles was handed over by Tata Motors team to Cognizant officials at an event held at the company’s Hyderabad campus.

Leveraging the One Tata solution for EVs, Tata Motors will collaborate with other Tata Group companies to provide a consolidated solution. Tata Power will supply and install two fast charging stations at the Hyderabad campus of Cognizant, while Tata Motors Finance will provide the financial assistance needed to procure the vehicles.

Shailesh Chandra, President, Electric Mobility Business and Corporate Strategy, Tata Motors, said, “We are extremely committed to the Government’s vision of e-mobility in India. We are working towards the goal of a sustainable future, with our ‘One Tata’ approach, involving our other group companies. We will continue to strengthen our portfolio of EV offerings across our passenger and commercial vehicles to meet future requirements.”

Ramkumar Ramamoorthy, Executive Director, India, Cognizant, said, “At Cognizant, reducing our carbon footprint through efficient use of energy and protecting vital, irreplaceable resources are at the heart of our environmental stewardship initiatives. We will be one of the first companies in India to embrace the potential of electric vehicles as an innovative meeting ground of energy and mobility.”

Tata Power is the first company to set-up public EV charging stations in Mumbai and make Mumbai EV ready. With the installation of these electric vehicle chargers, the company is working towards encouraging the customers to shift from fossil fuel-based vehicles to electric vehicles. It would be the first time that Tata Power will be setting-up an EV charging station outside Mumbai.

Praveer Sinha, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Power, said, “With the deployment of the fast charging EV stations in Hyderabad, we are happy to make the city more conducive towards a pollution-free environment. This is in line with our endeavour to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across the country by providing the much-needed mobility infrastructure to support EV growth.”
