Siemens announced the launch of its new range of energy efficient motor SIMOTICS 1LE7. The new range of motors is the newest entrant in the existing range of motors offered by Siemens in India. These motors offer efficiency values higher than the IE3 standards - which is currently the highest efficiency class as recognised by Indian Standards. 

Siemens SIMOTICS 1LE7 motors are capable of offering an average monetary savings of up to 8-20 per cent depending on the frame size. Apart from generating savings, the SIMOTICS 1LE7 range of motors will assist customers to reduce lifecycle costs, and meet environmental regulations.

Bhaskar Mandal, Executive Vice President and Country Division Lead, Process Industries & Drives Division, Siemens India, said ?Siemens began the manufacturing of motors in India since 1966 and has been recognised as a pioneer in manufacturing state-of-the-art motors for diverse sectors, applications and power classes. Taking this legacy forward, SIMOTICS 1LE7 will prove to be a reliable and efficient innovation which will boost the performance of energy intensive industries like cement, metals, mining, power, textiles, pulp and paper to achieve significant reduction in energy consumption and thus reduce costs of operation and their carbon footprint.?

Siemens Ltd was also the first company in India to launch the locally manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class industrial motors.
