"Kinetic Green is keenly looking to tap the global market with high-end golf carts and off-road electric vehicles along with our JV partner, the Lamborghini family," said Sulajja Firodia Motwani, founder and chief executive officer, KGEPSL. "As a first step, we have set a reasonable goal to build a top line of Rs 500 crore in the JV in the next four to five years, that will represent just 2.5 percent of the global market," she added. The JV will leverage Kinetic Green's existing R&D as well as manufacturing facilities in Ahmednagar, which produces various electric vehicles, including electric three-wheelers, according to the release. The golf cart sector has a global market size of USD 2 billion and is increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 8-10 percent. Currently, North America and Europe account for over 45 percent market share. The Asian market is also one of the fastest growing and it will represent a growing part of the global market, the release said. Both the companies will leverage their existing network and marketing channels to promote and market the joint venture products in India and globally, the release said. "Today we are very proud to announce the JV with Kinetic Green.

In the following weeks, all the aspects will be defined in order to jointly put all our values into the project to soon participate to this change," said Ferruccio Lamborghini, chief executive and vice-president of Tonino Lamborghini SpA.
