Example of how Global Auto OE’s Outlook is Transforming…
Sustainable Mobility
• Location Based • Demand vs Supply Integration • Truck Platooning
‘Connected Solutions’ is the base for all Mobility Solutions of the future
Future Mobility Trends – CASE for Indian Context
• H2 as an energy buffer or
BLUE HYDROGEN
Grey Hydrogen coupled with CCS and/or zero-carbon storage can potentially solve
bio-methane; no CO2 emissions; fossil fuel feedstock intermittency problem of
large-scale renewables.
▪ RIL has adopted a leadership status in the Indian and wider global market by
being
▪ One of the first companies to initiate & develop H2 Internal Combustion
Engines (H2 ICE) & Fuel Cell Systems (FCS)
▪ Plans to Commercialization in mobility applications at a mass scale
▪ Partnering with automotive OEMs
H2 ICE
▪ Utilizing the same H2 storage & refueling ecosystem
▪ Hydrogen fuel cell systems (FCS) and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines
(H2 ICE) are complementary technologies
▪ Fuel Cell EVs are viewed by RIL as a long-term Mobility solution, while H2- ICE is Fuel cell system @ RIL
viewed as an intermediate cost-effective approach – Replacement potential

Key Trend 3 -> The Shift Towards Electric Vehicles
Digital Solutions
• End to End digital solutions including Charge Management, BMS, Fleet Management
• BMS include industry leading features, built on a highly configurable platform, allowing it to support
a wide variety of architectures, and driving lower cost and a faster time to market when compared
to peers

Global & Local EV Auto Players Shifting Towards BaaS (Battery Swap)
▪ H2 Transportation Tech – Liquid Organic H2 vs Liquid H2 vs ▪ Proliferate Standardized form factors for accelerated adoption
Compressed H2 vs Metal Hydride etc. of ‘Open Swap’ Ecosystems
▪ Cell cost is 70% of Battery Pack Cost - Mass Production of
locally manufactured cells / supply chains critical to reduce
▪ Progressive reduction in cost of Green Hydrogen Production import dependency and costs
Cost
▪ Reduction in Cost of Carbon Fiber H2 Tanks, FIE Systems, ▪ Under PLI scheme, Indian energy players are developing
Fuel Cells etc. customized solutions for India
▪ Remodel business operations based on data & tech to deliver new product
