Greaves, Indofast Partner For Battery-Swapping

Indofast Energy plans to deploy over 50,000 vehicles in the next year, strengthening GEML’s position in the electric mobility sector.

Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML), a subsidiary of Greaves Cotton Limited, has partnered with Indofast Energy, a joint venture between Indian Oil and SUN Mobility. The collaboration aims to enhance last-mile transportation for B2B fleets and ride-sharing services by integrating battery-swapping technology with electric two-wheelers.

The partnership introduces the Ampere ‘Magnus SW.S’, powered by Indofast Energy’s battery-swapping technology. Designed for gig economy riders covering long distances daily, this solution seeks to reduce downtime with quick battery swaps. Through Indofast Energy’s expanding battery-swapping network, users can replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones, reducing operational costs and improving efficiency.

Ampere ‘Magnus SW.S’ has a motor power of 2.4 kW, supporting performance on steep gradients and under heavy loads. The scooter has a payload capacity of 151 kg, making it suitable for commercial applications. Its IoT-enabled features enhance connectivity and fleet management.

Arun Srivastava, Head of B2B Business at Greaves Electric Mobility, stated that integrating battery-swapping technology with the Magnus platform will enable efficient and sustainable operations for businesses and gig economy riders.
