Musashi Seimitsu Industry and Log9 Materials have partnered to create an integrated powertrain solution for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
Japan’s Musashi Seimitsu Industry, the parent company of Musashi India, has announced a strategic partnership with Log9 Materials to revolutionise the electric vehicle (EV) market with an integrated powertrain solution. This collaboration, combining Musashi’s e-Axle system and Log9’s battery technology, aims to address key challenges in EV energy management, scalability, and service reliability for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, targeting both India and global markets.

The partnership between Musashi Seimitsu and Log9 Materials focuses on integrating advanced battery packs with high-performance e-Axle systems. This integration aims to reduce energy losses typically seen in conventional powertrains, thereby extending vehicle range and enhancing performance, particularly in densely populated urban areas. By optimising synergy between battery and drivetrain systems, the collaboration seeks to set new benchmarks for efficiency and innovation within the EV sector.

Vision for the future of EVs

Commenting on the partnership, Pankaj Sharma, Co-Founder of Log9 Materials, said, “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.”

Hiroshi Otsuka, President and Group CEO of Musashi, shared his thoughts on the collaboration: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our vision to reshape the electric mobility landscape. 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, optimizes synergy between battery and drivetrain systems, and sets new industry standards for sustainability and innovation.”

Centralised service model

A key aspect of this partnership is the implementation of a centralised service model for the integrated battery and e-Axle systems. This approach aims to reduce repair downtime and improve customer satisfaction through quicker service turnaround. This strategic move ensures that electric mobility becomes more efficient and accessible to a broader range of consumers, particularly in regions like India and Southeast Asia, where two-wheelers and three-wheelers are essential for transportation and last-mile deliveries.

Beyond India, the collaboration aims to expand into global markets, including Southeast Asia and Africa. This expansion will be supported by a robust after-sales service network in major Indian cities. Musashi’s entry into the EV sector aligns with the company's strategic goals of fostering innovation and contributing to global carbon emission reduction efforts. By setting new benchmarks in powertrain development, Musashi and Log9 are poised to accelerate EV adoption, delivering high-performance solutions that drive the transition toward sustainable transportation.
