Tsuyo launches Gen 3 EV powertrain, AMT for 3-wheelers, LCVs
Autocar Professional, 16 Feb '26
Tsuyo Manufacturing, an electric powertrain manufacturer based in Greater Noida, announced on 14th February the launch of a new generation of electric motor and powertrain technologies for the three-wheeler and light commercial vehicle segments.
The company stated that the new portfolio is intended to support a transition in India's EV market from assembly-driven models to domestically engineered solutions.
At the centre of the announcement is Tsuyo's Gen 3.0 Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor and controller architecture.
The company stated that the design incorporates external Hall sensor placement, split-phase cabling, and an aluminium-cast controller housing to support thermal management, servicing access and system durability.
An upgraded MOSFET configuration is intended to expand applicability to higher-performance EV applications, while an LED-based fault indication system is designed to assist field diagnostics.
The company also unveiled what it described as India's first automated manual transmission (AMT) solution for electric three-wheelers. Tsuyo stated that the system is designed to extend range, improve load handling, and enhance gradeability, enabling smaller motors to operate across varied terrain and load conditions common in Indian urban and semi-urban environments.
Among the other products introduced was a patented synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) that does not rely on rare-earth magnets. Tsuyo indicated that the motor uses a new rotor architecture and is intended to reduce dependence on imported materials, in line with the government's Atma Nirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative. The company also announced a hairpin winding technology, which it stated can deliver up to 20% higher motor performance and a longer operational life.
The portfolio also includes a flat tube axle with a common gear interface, designed for L3 and Mini-L5 vehicle categories. The company stated that this component is intended to increase load capacity while reducing parts complexity for fleet operators and manufacturers.
Alongside the product announcements, Tsuyo stated that it would host a partners' and distributors' session focused on technical knowledge-sharing across the EV supply chain.
The meeting is intended to support distribution partners in evaluating powertrain solutions and is expected to include commentary from industry representatives on end-user requirements and approaches to scaling electric mobility in India.
Tsuyo Manufacturing Private Limited supplies motors, controllers, and integrated systems ranging from 0.5 kW to 350 kW for three-wheeler, light commercial and off-road vehicle segments.
The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh and has shipped more than 200,000 motors to over 50 OEM partners over the past four years. Tsuyo collaborates with IITs, NITs and international research institutions on product development.
