Zuno General Insurance has launched Fuel Guard, an industry-first car insurance add-on. As per the new-age digital insurer, the product offers extra protection amid India’s growing adoption of approved blended fuels.

Fuel Guard covers specified engine and fuel-system components against accidental and unforeseen damage caused directly by manufacturer-approved blended fuel. It is available for private cars registered on or after 1 April 2023, provided the manufacturer has approved the fuel used.

Vehicles must follow the prescribed maintenance schedule and have no unauthorised engine or fuel-system modifications. The cover can be added to applicable private car package, standalone own damage and bundled policies, including three-year long-term policies. Zuno said the launch reinforces its customer-focused motor protection strategy, following offerings such as Zuno SmartDrive.

Shanai Ghosh, MD & CEO, Zuno General Insurance, said, "At its core, Fuel Guard is built around a simple idea: as the mobility ecosystem evolves, insurance protection needs to evolve with it. At Zuno, we continuously look at how changes in mobility are shaping customer expectations and ownership experiences. Fuel Guard reflects our effort to translate those insights into simple, practical solutions that make protection more relevant in everyday life."

Chennai-headquartered electric vehicle company Raptee.HV has opened an electric mobility Centre of Excellence at Rajalakshmi Engineering College, establishing an industry-academia partnership focused on electric vehicle technology.

The new facility, inaugurated on World EV Day, is spread across 3,000 square feet and will operate under the Raptee.HV Academy initiative will introduce industrial exposure and prototyping tools to academic institutions.

The project represents an INR 5 million investment and accompanies a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Raptee.HV and Rajalakshmi Engineering College. The agreement covers industrial training, site visits, guest lectures, internships, academic courses and research projects.

It is designed for students across electrical, electronics and automotive engineering; the laboratory contains a Raptee.HV T30 motorcycle, core electric vehicle components, a stripped motorcycle fitted with digital twin technology and equipment for testing battery packs, electric motors, power electronics, charging systems, vehicle communications and diagnostics.

Dinesh Arjun, Co-Founder and CEO, Raptee.HV, said, "The next generation of mobility will be built by engineers who understand the machine from the cell to the software. But you cannot build that understanding from a classroom alone. You have to get your hands dirty, take systems apart, question how they work, experiment and build again. The HV Lab is our attempt to bring that experience into engineering education. If even a few students walk out of this lab wanting to build the next great EV technology, we have done our job."

Fuel Guard can be added to private car package policies, standalone own-damage coverage, bundled options and three-year long-term policies.
