As global environmental challenges intensify, sustainable mobility has become more urgent than ever. At Auto Expo 2025, held at Bharat Mandapam from Jan 17 to Jan 22, 2025, industry leaders and technology enthusiasts gathered together to witness breakthrough innovations in electric mobility.
Greaves Engineering made a powerful statement at Auto Expo 2025 by unveiling its latest ePowertrain solutions: the revolutionary L2 and L5 ePowertrains. These state-of-the-art systems combine advanced EV motors and controllers with cutting-edge electric vehicle motor technology. The innovations presented at Auto Expo 2025 also incorporate elements seen in top-tier electric vehicle motor designs, making them ideal for modern electric vehicles. The L2 and L5 ePowertrains are set to redefine electric vehicle performance and sustainability, driving a cleaner, greener future for the industry.
Understanding Greaves Engineering L2 and L5 ePowertrains
An ePowertrain is an all-in-one system that integrates an EV motor and its controller to deliver seamless power management. At Auto Expo 2025, Greaves Engineering showcased two distinct ePowertrain solutions that underline the future of electric mobility:
- L5 ePowertrain (3-Wheeler ePowertrain):
Unveiled at Auto Expo 2025, the L5 ePowertrain is engineered for high-performance applications, delivering exceptional power and efficiency for 3-wheeler electric vehicles. It leverages an advanced electric vehicle motor to deliver rated power outputs between 5.4 kW and 10.5 kW, ensuring strong acceleration and the ability to handle various driving conditions.
The electric vehicle motor generates peak torque ranging from 47 Nm to 90 Nm, which translates to the force that propels the vehicle forward. Additionally, the EV motor controllers are designed to operate efficiently at different voltage levels – 48 V, 60 V, 72 V, or 96 V, making it adaptable to various electric vehicle designs and energy requirements.
Complementing the electric vehicle motor that was displayed at the Auto Expo, the L5 traction controller, with an ambient temperature range from –20°C to +55°C and an efficiency of 96%, delivers up to 15 kW of maximum output power (IP67 rated) across a voltage range of 35 to 96 V.
Experts at Auto Expo noted that the L5 design even integrates features comparable to those of a high-quality EV motor in electric vehicle setup.
- L2 ePowertrain (2-Wheeler ePowertrain):
Tailored for lighter-duty urban mobility, the L2 ePowertrain is ideal for 2-wheeler electric vehicles and was prominently featured at Auto Expo 2025.
The electric vehicle motor displayed at the Auto Expo provides rated power outputs between 2.2 kW and 5.4 kW. It uses advanced EV motor technology ensuring rapid acceleration and high energy efficiency for daily commutes. This is similar in performance to a refined electric 2-wheeler motor.
The electric vehicle motor also generates torque ranging from 15 Nm to 35 Nm, which translates to the force that propels the vehicle forward. In parallel with the L5, the L2 design benefits from components often seen in EV motor configurations.
This electric vehicle motor comes in different types, which include BLDC (Brushless DC Motor), PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor), and PMa-SynRM (Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor). The motor operates efficiently at wide Torque – Speed range, making it adaptable to various electric vehicle designs and energy requirements.
The matching L2 traction controller which was also displayed at the Auto Expo, supports a voltage range of 32.5 to 100 V, maintains an operating temperature from –20°C to +55°C, and delivers a maximum output power of 10 kW (IP67 rated).
Sustainability Benefits and Technological Innovations
Greaves Engineering’s ePowertrains are not just about raw performance; they also represent a commitment to sustainability. The integration of advanced high-efficiency electric vehicle motors with controllers ensures that these systems reduce energy consumption and lower emissions.
Optimised Power Management:
Both the L2 and L5 ePowertrains utilise innovative EV motors that work hand-in-hand with advanced controllers, resulting in an ePowertrain that maximises energy efficiency. The precision and performance of these systems are comparable to high-end electric motor designs.
- High Efficiency and Durability:
The L5 ePowertrain’s controller, with an efficiency of 96%, and the robust L2 system, which incorporates adaptable voltage range technology reminiscent of a reliable electric 2-wheeler motor, ensure exceptional durability under demanding conditions. - Advanced Integration:
By blending advanced electric vehicle motors and controllers, Greaves Engineering’s ePowertrains offer smooth acceleration and precise torque control. The integration is enhanced by features inspired by high-quality electric 2-wheeler motor systems. This technology, showcased extensively at Auto Expo 2025, sets a new benchmark for what can be expected from ePowertrains in the current market.
