Mahindra Group inaugurated the Mahindra GenZe electric two-wheeler facility and the Mahindra North American Technical Center (MNATC) in Southeast Michigan.
The Mahindra Group already has a substantial presence in the United States with IT companies, Tech Mahindra and Bristlecone and the world’s number one selling tractor brand based on volume, Mahindra USA. The new Technical Centre adds to this footprint and reflects the Group’s continued commitment to North America.
The GenZe by Mahindra is the first urban transportation vehicle to be offered by the Mahindra Group and the only two-wheeled electric vehicle of its kind in the United States.
The compact design provides consumers with exactly what they need — ease of travel, specialized storage and an impressive range of 30 miles with many industry first features. With the top speed set at 30 mph, there is no need for a motorcycle license to operate the GenZe in most states.
Mahindra GenZe selected Ann Arbor, Michigan for its manufacturing facility following a nationwide search. This facility has the capacity to assemble up to 9,000 vehicles per year, with the ability to ramp up to 20,000 vehicles if needed.
“We are excited to unveil the GenZe by Mahindra as the first electric urban two-wheeler designed and manufactured in the United States,” said Vish Palekar, CEO, Mahindra GenZe. “The GenZe is conceived for students and urban commuters who are desperate to break free from congestion, tired of increasing gas prices, and the lack of convenient parking. With industry leading utility and connectivity features including the ability to charge anywhere on the go, the GenZe is the perfect lifestyle empowering vehicle for the American consumer.”[wzslider height=”400″ lightbox=”true”]
