It serves as a hub for research, simulation, testing, and skill development, bringing together industry, academia, and policymakers. The CoE focuses on areas such as thermal management of lithium-ion battery packs, integration of xEV demonstrators, simulation-based vehicle evaluations, EV battery management systems, and autonomous driving platforms.

Beyond research, the CoE plays a critical role in capacity building by developing specialized training programs in partnership with premier institutes like the IITs. Its vision extends to creating sustainable, locally relevant innovations—supporting initiatives like Vision Zero (zero road fatalities) and air quality improvement plans. By fostering collaboration with global partners while driving indigenous innovation, the CoE aims to position India as a leader in the intelligent and green mobility ecosystem.
