Bounce Infinity has announced a strategic partnership with Zapp Electric Vehicles Group, a British electric vehicle brand. This collaboration aims to enhance the assembly and distribution of Zapp’s i300 electric urban motorcycle in India.
The partnership between Bounce Infinity and Zapp EV focuses on leveraging Bounce’s manufacturing capabilities and market presence to support Zapp. Bounce Infinity will provide contract manufacturing services for Zapp’s electric vehicles based on the specifications provided by Zapp.
Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and CEO of Zapp EV, said, “Bounce’s manufacturing expertise and market presence in India is expected to accelerate Zapp’s commercial rollout in key urban areas in the country. India is already one of the largest markets in the world for sales of two-wheelers, and the share of electric vehicles is forecast to reach 45% by 2030. We think the design attributes of the i300 make it an excellent solution for personal mobility with India’s growing purchasing power and urban densification.”
Bounce Infinity will also support Zapp EV in obtaining the necessary approvals for homologating its products for sale in India. The entire process is expected to be completed within 120 days from the effective date of the memorandum of understanding. Additionally, both companies will explore the possibility of a distribution partnership to further enhance the availability of Zapp’s products across India.
Vivekananda Hallekare, CEO and Co-founder of Bounce Infinity said, “By combining our manufacturing strengths with Zapp’s innovative product lineup, we aim to make India a two-wheeler manufacturing hub for the entire world.”
The commercial rollout of Zapp’s i300 is not dependent on any dedicated charging infrastructure, as the removable and portable battery packs can be charged from any standard wall socket.
