Mahindra Two Wheelers plans to launch its first electric 2-wheeler in USA

Mahindra Two Wheelers (MTWL), part of the $16.7 billion Mahindra Group, is planning to launch the hybrid scooter after inaugurating their R&D centre in Pune. The launch of the electric vehicle is scheduled for this summer but the launch will happen in the USA instead of being launched in India. The vehicle has been christened GenZe STS (Single Track Shuttle) and a team in Palo Alto, California is busy readying the product. The GenZe is a simple-looking scooter which scores high on utility. It is designed to carry the rider as well as groceries, laundry, or anything else that fits in the generous amount of space in the bucket behind the rider. The GenZe is expected to have a range of around 50km and a top speed of 50kph. It will be driven by a 1.4KW (1.8bhp) motor. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is the flagship company of the Mahindra Group, a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India. Amongst the various business interests of its parent group, the company is mainly involved in the automobile manufacturing. It is one of the leading auto companies of India.
