Greaves Cotton have showcased their offerings at the Auto Expo 2023.
The highlight of the stall was the Ampere Primus, an electric two-wheeler targeted at modern millennials. The Primus was showcased alongside the NXG and the NXU. The Primus uses a three-kWh, lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack that provides a claimed range of 120 km and a claimed top speed of 77 km/h. The Primus takes four hours for a full charge from a regular socket, the same can be done in two hours when a 30A fast-charging outlet is used. The company claims a 0-40 km/h sprint in under five seconds. The mid-mounted motor has a claimed 3.8-kW (5 hp) output relayed to the rear wheel via a belt drive. The Primus has three riding modes – Power, City and Eco along with a reverse mode. Other features include tethering, turn-by-turn navigation, keyless operation, 12-inch wheel with a combi-braking system and under seat capacity of 22 litres. The bookings are open and prices will be revealed soon. The sister scooters – NXG and NXU share the mid-mounted motor with the Primus.
Commenting on Greaves Cotton’s transition into a transformational catalyst for India’s EV ecosystem, Nagesh Basavanhalli, Executive Vice Chairman of Greaves Cotton Limited said, “Greaves Cotton is in the process of transitioning from a metal-based, manufacturing engineering company to an electric, electronic and mechatronics based mobility technology company that is solving the 21st-century challenges in clean and affordable last-mile mobility.
