After Ratan Tata's 'Nano', now it is time for another revolution, an electric car.

The electric car, developed by IIT Bombay, is named e-on'. This is a proto-type of the car which does not require petrol and runs at the speed of 30 km per hour.

"We have been working on this project for last one year and now ready to run this car on road," said professor of Industrial and Automobile Design Kishor Munshi.

"The speed of the car is kept limited at 30 km, but

can be increased," he said.

Initially the car will run in the campus of IIT-B, which plans to modify the car in future. Developers are still testing various options to make it better and commercially viable.

Elaborating on the features of the car, Munshi said, the car will have electric front wheel drive and a seating capacity of two.

Also, it will not have regular steering but an attractive joystick with foot pedals.
