Hero Electric Pvt. Ltd. has rolled out its first batch of electric scooters from Mahindra Group's Pithampur manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh.
The electric-vehicle maker is in a five-year partnership with Mahindra to grow its business amid increasing demand for electric mobility. As part of the strategic alliance, Hero Electric will manufacture two of its e-scooters -- Optima and NYX -- at Mahindra's Pithampur plant.
"Our 20-plus relationships with preferred partners in the field of charging, servicing, rapid charging, swapping, etc., are helping us build a robust EV ecosystem not only for us but for the whole EV category," Sohinder Gill, chief executive officer at Hero Electric, said in a statement. "With this tie-up (Mahindra), we are now well on our way to the half-a-million capacity that we had planned a few months back."
Beyond sharing space, the Hero Electric-Mahindra partnership provides a platform to jointly develop and share the supply chain for all new electric offerings, the statement read. Both companies will bolster this alliance and share their R&D expertise to develop newer technologies and products for domestic and overseas markets.
