Greaves Electric Mobility enters Battery Swapping

Greaves Electric Mobility Limited, the electric mobility arm of Greaves Cotton Limited (GCL), has partnered with Indofast Energy, a 50-50 joint venture between Indian Oil and SUN Mobility to enhance last-mile transportation for B2B fleets and ride-sharing services by aiming to offer innovative, efficient and tailored e-2W and energy solutions that meet the industry’s evolving needs.

The partnership unveils the Ampere ‘Magnus SW.S’, powered by Indofast Energy’s battery-swapping technology. Designed for gig economy riders covering 100+ km daily, this solution aims to minimize downtime with quick battery swaps.

Leveraging Indofast Energy’s rapidly growing battery-swapping network, customers can seamlessly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones, reducing operational costs and enhancing efficiency.

Ampere ‘Magnus SW.S’ features a motor power of 2.4 kW for easy gradability and smooth performance – even on steep gradients, with heavy loads, or with carrying a pillion rider for ride-share operations.

The scooter is equipped with a payload capacity of 151 kg, making it ideal for heavy-duty use. Additionally, its IoT-enabled capabilities provide efficient connectivity and aim to provide improved fleet management solutions for operators.

Speaking about the collaboration, Mr. Arun Srivastava, Head B2B Business, Greaves Electric Mobility, said: “Our partnership with Indofast Energy represents a step forward in addressing the evolving needs of the mobility sector. By integrating advanced battery-swapping technology with the Magnus platform, we are aiming to enable quick, efficient, and sustainable operations for businesses and gig economy partners.”
