Musashi India Partners with Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions for EV Two-Wheeler Powertrain Systems

Musashi India has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions, Pune for the supply of integrated electric powertrain systems for Kinetic Green’s upcoming two-wheeler platforms. The agreement reinforces both companies’ commitment to advancing electric mobility solutions in India. 

Under this partnership, Musashi India will supply a side mounted e-Axle which provides an integrated complete powertrain solution comprising Motor, Gearbox and Controller (VCU and MCU) for Kinetic Green’s next-generation electric two-wheelers. The pilot batch supplies will commence in December 2026, followed by start of production (SOP) with manufacturing at Musashi Delta e-Axle India’s existing facility in Bengaluru. 

The powertrain solution will feature a 4.7kW IPM motor integrated with a gearbox in a side-mounted e-Axle configuration, designed to deliver enhanced performance, efficiency and reliability for the two-wheeler segment. Musashi has developed a 2W side-mount e-Axle by leveraging its expertise in integrating the gearbox, motor and controller into a single compact unit. This advanced solution delivers higher range which may benefit customers in optimisation of battery cost through size reduction while also ensuring high durability with reduced service and maintenance compared to center and hub-mounted drive systems. Additionally, the side-mount configuration allows for increased luggage space compared to conventional center-mount designs. 

Naoya Nishimura, CEO, Musashi India and Africa region, said, “This LOI marks an important milestone in our journey to support India’s transition to electric mobility. Our integrated powertrain solution reflects Musashi’s focus on innovation, efficiency and reliability. We are pleased to partner with Kinetic Green and look forward to building a long-term collaboration that brings advanced mobility technologies to the market.”

On the occasion, Dr. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO, Kinetic Green, said, “At Kinetic Green, we believe the future of mobility is electric, intelligent and sustainable — and every partnership we forge must be anchored in that conviction. Our collaboration with Musashi India is a powerful step forward in that direction Through this collaboration, we are making world-class powertrain technology accessible to the everyday Indian consumer — without compromise on performance, reliability or value. At Kinetic Green, we remain deeply committed to accelerating India's green mobility transition, and partnerships like this one are at the heart of how we will get there."

This collaboration is envisioned as a long-term strategic partnership, with Kinetic Green also aligning to adopt Musashi’s next-generation technologies in future phases of the program, including advancements under its upcoming platforms. 

Musashi India continues to strengthen its position in the electric mobility ecosystem by delivering advanced, integrated powertrain solutions tailored for evolving market needs, while supporting OEMs in accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation.
