The Vega Innovation Company today officially received the registration numbers for the fully electric, two-seater supercar "Vega" and for the electric three-wheelers manufactured by the company.
The registration numbers were handed over by the Transport Minister Bandula Gunawardana today at Vega Innovation Company.
Vega is South Asia’s first fully electric two-seater supercar, handmade with a carbon fiber body and powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive drivetrain. All automotive electronics, including the liquid cooled motor controllers and Li-ion battery packs, are designed and manufactured in-house, showcasing some of the most advanced technologies in the EV supercar space.
The decision was announced with the concept of promoting the inclusion of environmentally friendly electric vehicles in Sri Lanka as a solution to the existing fuel crisis and financial issues, the Minister said.
"The aim of this project is to popularize the three-wheeler, which is fully charged by electricity, as a more environmentally friendly product among the people. Any manufacturer will get the ability to produce and register their electric three-wheelers in Sri Lanka in the future," he said.
In addition to manufacturing electric three-wheelers, Vega Innovation Company also converts fuel-powered three-wheelers to run on electricity. In addition to three-wheelers, many other vehicle models, including high-tech electric cars and motorcycles, have already been produced by the Vega.
The minister also joined the observation of several institutions involved in the introduction of new products, including the Vega Innovation Company located in the Maradana Trace Complex. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
