PUNE: Kuhl Fans, from the house of the country’s largest RO purifiers brand, have introduced the newest range of Kühl Smart and Stylish Fans in Pune. These fans, built using BLDC technology, are not only elegant and stylish but also energy-efficient, offering up to 65% savings on power consumption.

By expanding its portfolio, Kuhl now offers an extended array of energy-efficient fan models. The launch in Pune signifies increased availability of the new range at new retail points, ensuring broader accessibility for Kühl fans. With this strategic expansion, Kuhl aims to solidify its standing as a premier provider of energy-efficient and innovative ceiling fan solutions in the market.

Kühl introduced an innovative Next-Gen Desert Cooler fan based on BLDC technology called Kuhl Exzel. This floor-standing desert cooler cum fan disperses ultrasonic water mist into the air, effectively reducing room temperature by up to 5 degrees Celsius.

Kuhl Fans also launched yet another innovative device called the Kuhl Voice Controller – a first-of-its-kind voice-based controller for fans. The simple device plugs into an electrical socket and allows users to effortlessly control Kuhl fans with their voice. Not only can users switch the fan on/off, but they can also perform complex operations like speed control and controlling the downlight using their voice. Most importantly, the device does not require an internet connection to work. This plug-and-play device not only controls Kuhl fans but can also operate any brand of AC or TV in your bedroom. The Kuhl Voice Controller now enables you to operate all the appliances in your bedroom from the comfort of your bed. There’s no need to look for the remote or get up from your bed on a cozy night. This innovative device comes free of charge with premium Kuhl fans and can be purchased separately for only INR 1999.

Kühl has also launched the Kuhl Inspira series, India’s first 100% Made in India BLDC Wall and Pedestal range of fans. These innovative wall and pedestal fans offer 65% power savings and operate with low noise. The Kuhl Inspira series TPW range features 5-blade fans with dual control options – touchscreen and via remote. One notable feature of these fans is the electronic swing control, a much-needed function that allows users to easily switch on/off the swing or oscillation function with a simple touch of a button. The introductory price for Kuhl Inspira fans starts at an excitingly low price of only INR 3999.

Additionally, the Kuhl Galaxis series has been introduced, catering to larger spaces with ceiling fans available in diameters ranging from 55 inches to 68 inches.

Kühl BLDC fans boast a range of stylish and innovative features that make them highly desirable. They are WiFi and IoT-enabled, allowing remote control through a smartphone, Alexa, or voice commands. Additionally, they come with a reverse function that effectively circulates warm air around the room, making them a practical choice for all seasons. Moreover, the Kühl fans are designed to deliver more airflow while producing minimal noise, making them a perfect fit for modern architectural and interior projects in both residential and commercial settings. With these unique features, Kühl fans offer an efficient way to reduce energy consumption while enhancing the aesthetics and comfort of any space.

Addressing a media conference, Varun Gupta, Joint Managing Director of Kent RO Systems Limited, said, “We are proud to launch the latest range of Kühl Stylish Fans in Pune, aligning with our brand philosophy focusing on energy, environment, and technology. With the rising temperature and the need to conserve energy, we believe that these fans will be in high demand in the region. Notably, a typical induction fan consumes around 80 watts of power, whereas a Kühl BLDC fan consumes only 28 watts of power at full speed. This means that Kühl BLDC fans can achieve energy savings of up to 65 percent.”

Gupta further added, “Kuhl, which entered the Indian ceiling fan market last year with a premium range of smart and stylish fans, has made significant strides in its first year of operations. The brand boasts the largest selection of high-end premium fans in India and is now prepared to dominate the mass premium category in the country. Encouraged by the positive response to its initial offerings, the brand is aggressively expanding its product portfolio and venturing into new territories. This exciting move includes Pune, a key market for ceiling fans, marking Kuhl’s commitment to becoming a nationwide leader in the industry.“

“We are continuously investing in R&D to bring the best range of products to our customers. In a short span of 1 year, we have been able to make significant strides and demonstrate to our customers that our world-class engineers and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility are creating the most desirable and elegant range of fans for Indian consumers. All Kühl fans have a 5-star rating from BEE and are BIS certified,” said Gupta.

Kühl fans are also 100% made in India, designed by Kuhl’s R&D team, and offer a longer service life compared to typical induction motors. As part of its forward-looking approach, Kuhl envisions taking its fans into the international markets also, making a significant contribution to the idea of ‘Make in India, Make for World’.

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA: Yazeed Al-Rajhi, driving his new Overdrive Toyota Hilux, won the opening desert stage of Jeddah Rally Toyota 2023, extending his lead in the Saudi Toyota Rally Championship. The stage started in Rabigh and provided a varied challenge to the drivers and riders, drawing the curtain on another season of international cross-country rallying.

Strong winds and shifting sand delayed the start of the second section of the day’s stage. Competitors started as usual in the morning, but safety and medical helicopters were unable to fly on safety grounds, and the second part was delayed until weather conditions improved.

Al-Rajhi won the day’s competitive stage by 14min 27sec and extended his advantage to 14min 38sec. “All is good,” said Al-Rajhi. “We took a longer time because of safety, but everything was going well. Me and Timo did a good job. The new car has some evolutions, but it is working well for us. This is a good test, but it is also important to win this race.“

Al-Rajhi’s closest title rival Saleh Al-Saif kept up the pressure on the Toyota driver with the second quickest time and moved up to a similar position in the overall standings. He also headed the T3 section for lightweight prototype vehicles in his G Rally Team OT3.

Race World’s Yasir Seaidan guided his Can-Am Maverick XRS Turbo RR to third overall and continued to lead the lightweight production T4 category. Argentina’s 32-year-old Nicolas Cavigliasso won the quad category at the 2019 Dakar Rally before making the switch to racing off-road vehicles. He and co-driver Valentina Pertegarini delivered a superb performance in their Wevers Sport Taurus T3 to finish the stage in fourth and second in T3.

Overnight motorcycle leader Abdulhalim Al-Mogheera won the day’s stage by 1min 55sec to extend his advantage over Mishal Al-Ghuneim to 8min 20sec. Haitham Al-Tuwaijri gained the advantage over championship rival Hani Al-Noumesi in the quad category by winning the stage and building up a lead of 26min 12sec over Abdulaziz Al-Atawi.

The event is being organized by the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF) in conjunction with the Ministry of Sport, official partner Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJ) Motors, and strategic partner Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB). The competitive action concludes on Saturday with a 109km stage, starting at the historic city of Jeddah.

In addition to Al-Rajhi’s win, Abdulhaleem Al-Mogheera and Haitham Al-Tuwaijri won the bike and quad stages, respectively, while T2, T3, T4, and T5 stage wins went to Al-Omer, Al-Saif, Seaidan, and Sugawara. The Jeddah Rally Toyota 2023 is the fourth round of the Saudi Toyota Rally Championship.
