Hyderabad based startup Cellestial E-Mobility is geared up to tap into the promising current generation E-Vehicles market. The company is in the advance stage of developing Electric Tractors, with longest battery life in the market.
The Hyderabad based company launched business operations in May this year armed with an initial funding of $200,000. The first round of investment has come from Angel Investor, Meka Sudhakar Reddy, a Singapore based NRI with over 18 years of expertise in Logistics Spacing.
“We are readying to roll out the first prototype in the next 1 month,” Siddhartha Durairajan, Founder Promoter of Cellestial E-Mobility said. Explaining the features of the tractor Siddhartha, pointed out that the e-mobility invention is a zero-emission ecological tractor apt for horticultural or greenhouse works or moving goods within factories, and vehicle to haul luggage in airports.
