英国汽车行业巨头、Ashok leyland投资的Switch Mobility公司副董事长兼首席执行官安迪•帕尔默(Andy Palmer)表示，除了电动公交车，该公司正准备在明年推出一系列电动LCVs，并在2025年推出一款电动面包车。在接受ETAuto编辑纳比尔·阿·汗(Nabeel A Khan)的采访时，帕尔默透露了电池战略，以及该公司计划如何通过采用通用组件和跨平台电池，以及利用印度的优势在英国和欧洲与中国竞争对手比亚迪(BYD)竞争。经过编辑的节选。
至于什么应该是电动的，排在第一位的应该是城市公共汽车。第二种是轻型车辆;除了汽车，他们还应该使用电动汽车。～
我们正在从不同的投资者那里分别为Switch和OHM mobility筹集2亿美元的资金。转换投资者是更多的资本支出和更传统的私人股本公司。而OHM，基本上是流动服务，更像是一种年金，长期资金。～

In terms of what should be electric, the number one in the list should be the urban bus. The second is light vehicles; more than cars, they should go electric.~<\/cite><\/div><\/blockquote>
Q. Coming back to India, what battery chemistry do you think will be right? For commercial vehicles how do you see the adoption of BEV and Hydrogen ICE?<\/b>
In that sense, India is a champion, and the fact that Switch can be a champion in India is a really useful point. Then if I look at things I'm not very satisfied with as India doesn't have its own battery cell manufacturing capability.
And that's a strategic miss. Because in the future it is the new oil, and you ought to have it and you have got to invest. And I hear a lot of discussions in India, about how we should follow China and we should manufacture LFP. And my view is that we should not imitate China.
India needs to be on the cutting edge of technology. And so it needs to adopt, it needs to be on the path of NMC. Moving to high silicon means moving to sulphur and sodium and eventually to solid state; it needs to be on that route.
Q. Why do you suggest that?<\/b>
I think there's a tendency to view the Indian market that comes back to the Datsun mistake, that is everything has to be low-cost. And I think India isn't that but the point of India is it has to be of good value.
And when you look at NNC, it is more expensive than LFP, but it's more efficient and you can put in more power and you can use less. So my sense is, Indians as customers can smell value. And that's different to a foreigner sometimes looking in and saying oh, it just went cheap.
Q. So, this leads to the next question, how do you see the pricing offered by CESL? <\/b>Convergence Energy Services Limited<\/a> (CESL) is a subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited, a joint venture of PSUs and Union Ministry of Power.)<\/strong>
I'm sure, you know that we chose not to participate in the CESL. And I don't say that CESL is bad. I don't think the idea of aggregation is quite good. And India is leading the world in terms of mobility as a service, so rupees per km and that's to be admired. I think the warning sign is not to make it a race to the bottom. So if everybody is just bidding based upon price per km, then ultimately, it's the customer that suffers, because you have to cut some quality or you have to cut some function to get the cost down.
So I would say, don't take a manufacturer that's not committed to net zero carbon. Don't go to a manufacturer that's never built a bus before, don't go to something that's going to compromise on quality.
Q. So, how are you going to compete with the manufacturers who are focusing on acquisition costs and winning government tenders?<\/b>
I will tell you a little story. When I was at Nissan, I was responsible for pickups. And one of the most profitable pickups for Nissan. Really good quality, well-priced pickup. And we were selling well. And then the Chinese came with a copy. And at the beginning, they started to have an impact on our market share. People started to buy it because it was 25% cheaper than the Nissan one. We know that they never did a repeat purchase. So my view of business is to stay at the quality and stay true to your ethos. If you lose some orders as a result, it's okay.
Now look, at Switch we're winning orders. I mean, we have launched the double decker. We won that 200 units based upon a very high quality product, a very innovative product. It uses NMC batteries, it is net zero carbon and is sold on rupees per km so we can win those and we got 6000 orders in the book, more than enough for a few years of production. So we're seeing a win-win situation. But we won't compromise our ethos.
Q. So you are trying to carve out your niche?<\/b>
That's the keyword and I don't want the brand to be a brand of poor quality. I want people to think about Switch as an automotive saving the world.
Q. So you will not be participating in CESL?<\/b>
Well, I've had a number of conversations with CESL and I've expressed my concern and you know hopefully over time they'll make sure that the pre-qualification criteria is set in a manner that would allow Switch to compete.
Q. The 6000 order book that you have is for what kind of products? And when do you plan to produce them? And I'm sure you have huge plans in Europe and the UK also. So how are you going to go about that?<\/b>
Well, we're building plans. So for example, in Spain, we're building a new manufacturing plant. In India, we've doubled our capacity. The Spain investment is about USD 20 million before incentives.
Q. How is your fund raise programme unfolding?<\/b>
We've taken our time. We have a very aggressive plan because we intend to be the only other global EV bus maker than BYD. BYD has the advantage of China, we have the advantage of India. So obviously you need to fuel that ambition with new products. You've seen us launch three new products in the last two months in India and Europe. And yes, we have spoken about USD 200 million in the short term.We are raising at both levels about USD 200 million for Switch and another amount for OHM mobility, from different investors. Switch investor is more capex, and a more traditional private equity firm. Whereas OHM, which is basically the mobility service, is more like an annuity, long term money.~<\/cite><\/div><\/blockquote>
And perhaps something similar in the medium term also. We want to find the right partner. We're not interested in IPOs. Also, we need partners that have the same vision as ours. We are raising at both levels about USD 200 million for Switch and another amount for OHM mobility, from different investors. Switch investor is more capex, and a more traditional private equity firm. Whereas OHM, which is basically the mobility service, is more like an annuity, long term money. But yeah, we're raising them both.
Q. How much do you expect to raise?<\/b>
I'm not gonna answer that question. What I can say is that we have raised. We wanted to have an anchor investor. And so we chose Dana, because they could also help us with other things. As an anchor investor, they came in at USD18 million. So it gives you some context. And as I said, our intention was never to be boom and bust. So our intention is gentle value creation.
Q. You're also very aggressive on electric LCVs. How soon are you going to launch?<\/b>
I'm not going to open your Christmas present before Christmas. But yes, clearly we are in the light commercial vehicle business.
Q. Next year, you're launching?<\/b>
Yeah. Yeah.
Q. So how many of them are for India, UK etc?<\/b>
So there's gonna be a series of light commercial vehicles for India. You know the market where we are good at and where we are not good at. We are going to try and have a complete offering. And then, in around 2025, we launch a van for the Western market. Price point is very different. So what you see is that there are two types of market. The emerging market which is value sensitive, and the emerging market which is more expensive. By covering these two, we're one of the unique companies that have an understanding of both. Then we're in bus and van business. Within the bus, I would say that we have a nine metre platform and a 12 metre platform, single Decker, Double Decker, low floor, medium floor high floor.
So, contextually if you want you have those three basic platforms. The key is the commonality between Europe and India. For example, on the 12 metre bus, we have 75% commonality by value giving enormous benefit for selling in Europe.
But it even has volume benefits for India. Then we have our light commercial vehicles, the two types, one which is very orientated towards low cost, low entry cost, and low running costs with a small battery. And then you have another one which is more around the Amazon type of model for the UK and Europe, which is scalable. So the point of that is that rather than forcing Amazon to adapt its business to your van, you adapt your van to its business. That's broadly speaking, I would say, the way we see the product portfolio is looking.
Q. Are you looking at SCV (small commercial vehicles) also like Nissan-Ashok Leyland Style in electric?<\/b>
Yes, I told you the intention is to have a complete offer, from sub-two tonne. However, LCVs will come first.
At the beginning, we have to establish the name of Switch and so OHM interfaces with fleets where you're doing the mobility as a service. And so it's an exclusive pipeline for reaching those types of customers. So, Switch only sells to OHM and OHM, only buys from Switch.
Q. You have 6000 bookings, how many of them for Indian companies and how many from overseas?<\/b>
First of all, so that we don't confuse 6000 with other big numbers, these are actual orders. The vast majority of them are Indian. I think 180 in Spain, and a smaller number in the UK. The UK is stuck at the moment, because of the government's funding of the space. That will change over time.
India was almost nothing two years ago. The UK was big. Now it's the other way round. But what we know is that Europe will grow because it will be the largest CV market in the world. So we're speculating on the long term.
Q. How do you see the collaborations among rivals to develop EV platforms and product, will you be open to such alliances?<\/b>
Theoretically, it sounds good. But practically they are competitors. Okay, you would say, Nissan and Renault, and Mitsubishi also created. It's not as good as it sounds. There are negatives of collaboration, as well as there are positives of collaboration. If you're collaborating, then you have to compromise on something. If you're doing it by yourself, then you can be very sure about it. So I'm not negative to the possibilities of collaboration, as long as it doesn't move us from our core values. And the ultimate core value is net zero carbon.
