Silent EVs Cause Unseen Dangers

Electric vehicles are nearly silent at low speeds—the exact speeds where people and vehicles mix the most. Without a clear acoustic cue, pedestrians, cyclists and animals may not detect an approaching EV in time.

  • 1. Low-Speed Interaction Zones

    Most pedestrian interactions happen at 0–20 km/h — near gates, crossings, parking lots, and depots where EVs are almost inaudible.

  • 2. Direction and Distance Confusion

    Quiet drivetrains make it hard for pedestrians and cyclists to sense an approaching vehicle’s direction or speed, increasing collision risk.

  • 3. Need for Standardized Sound

    Cities and fleet operators require predictable, compliant alert tones — replacing improvised horns with uniform, non-intrusive safety sounds.

  • 4. Regulatory Compliance in India

    AIS-173 mandates AVAS implementation for all new EV models by October 2026 and existing models by October 2027, aligning with UN R138 global norms.

  • 5. Building Safer Streets and Trust

    Clear acoustic cues reduce incidents and improve public confidence in electric mobility, supporting smoother EV adoption.

  • 6. Environmental & Social Responsibility

    AVAS contributes to responsible urban mobility, protecting vulnerable road users while maintaining low noise pollution and eco-friendly standards.

Making EVs Audible Intelligently

Engineering precision. Acoustic safety.
Every component of IQ-AVAS is designed to meet OEM performance, regulatory compliance, and long-term reliability.

Feature Highlights

  • 1. Dynamic Sound Control 

    Adapts tone and volume automatically to vehicle speed and ambient noise — ensuring clarity without causing disturbance.

  • 2. Multi-Input Compatibility

    Accepts CAN 2.0, digital, and analog inputs, providing flexibility across various vehicle architectures.

  • 3. Compact & Rugged Design 

    Encased in a sealed IP67 enclosure with built-in vibration and temperature resistance for harsh road conditions.

  • 4. Dual-Voltage Support

    Operates on both 12 V and 24 V systems, optimized for passenger cars, buses, and heavy commercial EVs.

  • 5. Adaptive Firmware

    Built-in diagnostics and configurable profiles for quick calibration during production or field deployment.

  • 6. Custom Sound Profiles

    OEMs can personalize sound signatures to create a distinct brand identity while staying within AIS-173 decibel limits.
