Dover and RV College of Engineering Partner to Launch State-of-the-Art Laboratory in Hydrogen R&D
Team Dover & Team RVCE
This collaboration aims to accelerate research in hydrogen systems and, over time, will potentially expand to other emerging areas such as sustainable materials, IoT, and Industry 4.0. The CoE will host state-of-the-art infrastructure developed jointly by researchers from Dover India Innovation Center (DIIC) and RVCE. These facilities, designed according to global standards, are first-of-their-kind in India and are available only in a handful of countries globally. The CoE will bring together over 20 technologists from Dover and RVCE to conduct next-generation research enabling hydrogen generation, storage, transportation, handling and safety, and end applications. It will also serve as a training ground for RVCE students to hone their skills using high-end infrastructure and be at the forefront of clean energy technology.
Pioneering India's Hydrogen Research Ecosystem
Dover India's R&D arm, established in 2021 in Jigani, Bengaluru, has emerged as a leading Innovation Center focusing on prognostics, tribology, corrosion and coatings, polymer synthesis, and material characterization. This new facility marks a significant capability expansion under DIIC's platform-based approach that supports Operating Company applications and accelerates multi-sector technology development.
'Collaborating with RVCE enables us to foster a strong academia-industry partnership that will fuel the next wave of clean energy innovation and cover the entire spectrum of basic and applied research in this area,' said Vivek Srivastava, R&D Head, who is leading the initiative from Dover's end.
Leadership Commitment
