New Delhi: Dedicated to innovation and excellence in EV propulsion systems to propel up and ahead, a Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup, Zepco Technologies announced that its advanced propulsion system has powered a world record-setting high altitude flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carrying a heavy payload.
Zepco’s indigenous propulsion system, designed, developed, and manufactured in Bengaluru, successfully lifted a UAV with a 30 kg payload at an astonishing launch altitude of 19,024 feet at Umling La Pass – the highest motorable pass in the world. With this, a remarkable feat was achieved with a total takeoff weight of 100 kg, showcasing the motors’ ability to perform exceptionally well in challenging conditions with rarified air. Thus, opening new avenues for transporting heavy equipment to a higher altitude for climate research, surveillance, defence, and other critical applications.
“We are incredibly proud that our startup has designed and developed world-record setting indigenous propulsion systems from scratch in just two years. Our high efficiency, high-power motor systems exemplify the spirit of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’—truly a ‘Made in India’ product,” Dr Ramesh Srinivasan, Founder and Managing Director of Zepco, said.
“As our name suggests, Zepco is committed to delivering solutions for the next generation. This is just the beginning of our journey,” added Harsha Venkatesh, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer.
Zepco Technologies, with this achievement has established itself on a pioneering path in the motor manufacturing industry, venturing into territories that few others have explored.
As a cutting-edge power electronics and motor company founded by a diverse team of engineers, product builders, and marketers with several decades of collective experience, Zepco Technologies’ goal is to build a world-class electronics product company based out of Bengaluru, with global aspirations.
