Musashi Seimitsu Industry, Japan, has announced a strategic partnership with Log9 Materials, that aims to revolutionise the electric vehicle (EV) market, by combining Musashi’s high-performance e-Axle system and Log9’s battery technology creating an integrated powertrain solution tailored specifically for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
What does this partnership offer?
Designed for OEMs, the partnership aims to reduce energy losses common in conventional powertrains, extending vehicle range and improving performance across diverse driving conditions, especially in densely populated urban areas, by combining battery packs with e-Axels.
The partnership further mentions critical challenges in EV energy management, scalability, and service reliability, enhancing overall performance and durability.
Pankaj Sharma, Co-Founder of Log9 Materials shared “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Musashi, as we work together towards a shared vision of advancing high-end engineering solutions for electric vehicles (EVs). By combining Musahi’s expertise in manufacturing and energy-efficient motion conversion with Log9’s cutting-edge battery technology, we aim to bring the most efficient powertrain solutions to the market. Both companies are deeply committed to the common goal of decarbonizing the world through innovative technology, and this collaboration strengthens our aligned business ethos and future objectives.”
Commenting on the association, Hiroshi Otsuka, President and Group CEO, Musashi, said, “By joining forces with Log9, we are committed to delivering a comprehensive, high-performance solution tailored for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. Our goal is to address critical market gaps and offer an integrated system that enhances energy efficiency, optimises synergy between battery and drivetrain systems, and sets new industry standards for sustainability and innovation.”
The main aspect of this partnership is the centralised service model for the integrated battery and e-Axle systems, which will reduce repair downtime and improve customer satisfaction through quicker service turnaround. The companies through this partnership aim to ensure electric mobility to be convenient and accessible in regions like India and Southeast Asia, where two-wheelers and three-wheelers are essential to transportation and last mile deliveries.
Lastly, the companies through this partnership plan global expansion, including Southeast Asia and Africa, backed by a strong after-sales service network in key Indian cities.
