Aerostrovilos, a startup based at IIT Madras, specializes in manufacturing micro gas turbines designed to electrify heavy-duty long-haul trucks. In situations where conventional batteries may not provide a viable long-term solution, these turbines offer a promising alternative. Globally, trucks constitute only 3-5% of road presence but contribute significantly to road transport pollution, accounting for 40-50%. Aerostrovilos' mission is to utilize gas turbine generator technology to electrify these trucks, effectively reducing global road pollution levels by 40-50%.
