Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The notification introduces the Central Motor Vehicles (Ninth Amendment) Rules, 2023, which amends the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The amendment inserts Rule 125M, which specifies type approval requirements for electric power train vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. It also defines various types of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Key Changes

  • Insertion of Rule 125M into the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
  • Rule 125M mandates that electric power train vehicles (including pure electric, hybrid electric, strong hybrid, plug-in hybrid, series hybrid, and series parallel hybrid vehicles) must meet type approval requirements as specified in the Table under Rule 124.
  • Definitions are provided for 'electric power train', 'hybrid electric vehicle (HEV)', 'plug-in hybrid electric vehicle', 'pure electric vehicle', 'series hybrid electric vehicle', 'series parallel hybrid electric vehicle', and 'strong hybrid electric vehicle'.
  • A two-wheeled pure electric vehicle is exempted from being classified as a motor vehicle if it meets specific conditions: motor power less than 0.25 KW, maximum speed less than 25 kmph, equipped with suitable brakes and reflectors, unladen weight (excluding battery) not more than 60 kg. Pedal-assisted vehicles with auxiliary electric motors must also have a motor output that progressively reduces and cuts off at 25 kmph or when pedaling stops, with motor power less than 0.25kW.
  • The thirty-minute power of the motor is defined in AIS:049-2003, and the verification method is prescribed in AIS:0412003.

Impact Analysis

Automobile Manufacturers

  • Increased focus on adhering to AIS:049-2003 for defining motor power and AIS:0412003 for verification methods.

Testing Agencies

  • They need to be equipped to conduct tests and certifications as per AIS:049-2003 and AIS:0412003 standards.

Consumers

  • Consumers of low-powered two-wheeled electric vehicles may benefit from the exemption from motor vehicle classification if the vehicles meet the specified conditions, potentially leading to reduced regulatory requirements (depending on other local laws).

Government and Regulatory Bodies

  • The amendment provides clarity on the definitions and classifications of different types of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Action Items

  • Awareness campaigns to educate consumers about the new regulations and the standards that electric and hybrid vehicles must meet.
