The primary focus of
both the partners will be on “adopting natural gas for transportation and
mining applications through sustainable solutions for fleet operators,
including those deployed by Adani Group companies in sectors like cement, ports
and logisticsâ€, the companies said in a statement on January 3.
Shigan, founded in 2005, has a portfolio of
technologies including hybrid
electric drive systems, hydrogen storage and meeting systems and alternative
fuel technologies that enable fuel efficient, low emission, hybrid, plug-in
hybrid electric, fuel cell and alternative fuel rail, according to the
company’s website.
The fuel-system provider also has Tata and Mahindra
group entities as its customers.
Under its agreement
with Adani Total Gas, traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles
will be retrofitted to run on CNG or LNG fuels. The partnership will also
focus on developing e-mobility based solutions for last mile delivery players
and use cases for green hydrogen as fuel for ICE vehicles, according to
the statement.
