Legacy Two-Wheeler Makers Expand EV Capacity as New Players Grow in Africa
Legacy two-wheeler manufacturers Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor, and Hero MotoCorp are expanding electric vehicle production capacities to nearly one million units annually each by FY28, aiming to meet growing demand and consolidate market share exceeding 60%. Meanwhile, new entrants like Dubai-based Spiro, led by Indian entrepreneur Gagan Gupta, are rapidly growing Africa's electric motorcycle market with battery-swapping technology, challenging established petrol-bike exporters. The shift to electric models in Africa highlights competition based on cost, performance, and infrastructure availability.
