Spectrus - Energy Saving Crafted with Composite Lightweight Solutions
Governments of several countries across the globe have adopted CO2 emission targets that mandate automotive companies to improve efficiency of vehicles substantially. Additionally, major automotive manufacturers are accelerating their move into electrically driven power trains. Automotive industry is immersed with developing new technologies and concepts, but at the same time trying to drive along the course of the ‘go green’ path. These developments are important to Indian automotive industry as well. To make electric vehicles successful and to meet CO2 emission targets of combustion engine vehicles, future vehicles need to be remarkably lighter.Spectrus Informatics, located in Bangalore, the IT hub of India, is uniquely positioned to deliver composite based light weight solutions for the automotive and other industries. They also make it imperative that the solutions are eco-friendly, by virtue of which the company helps their customer meet their respective sustainability goals.
