Automotive Technologies Research Centre
Overview
Energy efficiency, air cleanliness, and noise reduction have gained growing importance against the backdrop of overpopulation, urbanisation, and climate change. The impact of traffic on the environment too has received much attention. The Automotive Technologies Research Centre (ATRC) works towards developing integral system solutions that will improve road use efficiency, energy efficiency, and road safety. ATRC has a marked focus on Green Mobility, Smart Mobility and the use of efficient and sustainable energy. By involving M.Tech and Research Students, we are honing future engineers with the required skills and capabilities. We encourage them to gain exposure by participating in various international competitions. We are also working towards our work getting published in research publications and filing patents.
