Musashi India signs LOI with Kinetic Green for 2W EV powertrain supply

Musashi India Pvt. Ltd. has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions Limited for the supply of integrated electric powertrain systems for the company’s upcoming two-wheeler platforms.

Under the agreement, Musashi India will supply side-mounted e-Axle systems comprising a motor, gearbox, and controller (VCU & MCU) for Kinetic Green’s electric two-wheelers. Pilot batch supplies are scheduled to begin in December 2026, followed by start of production (SOP) at Musashi Delta e-Axle India’s facility in Bengaluru.

The powertrain system will use a 4.7kW IPM motor integrated with a gearbox in a side-mounted e-Axle configuration. According to the company, the system integrates the gearbox, motor, and controller into a single unit aimed at improving range, reducing maintenance requirements, and enabling battery size optimization. The side-mounted design is also intended to provide additional luggage space compared to center-mounted systems.

Naoya Nishimura, CEO, Musashi India & 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.” 

Dr. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO of 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.”

The companies stated that the collaboration is intended as a long-term partnership, with future phases expected to include adoption of additional technologies for upcoming vehicle platforms.

Musashi Seimitsu Industry develops and manufactures automotive components and is also engaged in EV systems, automation, and energy solutions. Kinetic Green manufactures electric two- and three-wheelers, golf carts, and lifestyle carts, and recently raised $25 million in Series A funding from Greater Pacific Capital.
