Pune-based electric vehicle manufacturer Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions, along with its global partner Italy's Tonino Lamborghini, officially launched their range of luxury electric golf and lifestyle carts.

This global unveiling marked Kinetic Green's entry into the bespoke electric four-wheeler market segment, which is part of its ambitious future strategy. The joint venture has set ambitious financial targets, aiming for an annual revenue goal of USD 300 million within the next five years. This aggressive growth plan underscores the company's confidence in disrupting the estimated USD 5 billion global electric golf and lifestyle cart market.

The partners stated that the new Tonino Lamborghini golf and lifestyle carts represent a unique synergy of sophisticated Italian design and robust Indian engineering. These advanced electric vehicles, conceived in Italy, will be manufactured in India and marketed globally under the prestigious Tonino Lamborghini brand, featuring the iconic red shield with the Bull emblem.

The carts will be available in two-seater, four-seater, six-seater and eight-seater configurations to meet a diverse range of applications, including championship golf courses, luxury resorts and hotels, private estates, gated communities, airports, corporate campuses, large recreational and industrial facilities.

The partners have introduced two distinct series:

• The Genesis Range: A tribute to the brand's origins, featuring chic Italian design.
• The Prestige Range: An ultra-premium, futuristic offering representing a legacy for the future.

Dr. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO of Kinetic Green said, "For a long, the golf cart segment has awaited a true disruptor – an extraordinary offering that transcends the mundane. Over the years, the use of golf carts has extended well beyond golf to luxury resorts, world-class airports, sprawling townships and corporate campuses and to personal use. But the design and specifications of popular golf carts has remained much the same, and this is where we see a large global market ready for disruption! Our JV will leverage the long legacy of the Kinetic Group in automotive engineering, Kinetic Green’s pioneering expertise in design and manufacture of electric vehicles and the experience of our partner, Tonino Lamborghini’s global experience in redefining design and lifestyle experiences and to top it all, marketing our products globally using the famous red shield with the iconic Bull. This fusion of our robust Indian engineering and EV capabilities with Tonino Lamborghini’s unparalleled design prowess and global luxury vision is not just a partnership; it is a confident declaration. We are poised to create a disruption in this segment and work towards seizing leadership, globally, bringing a confident, and ambitious new benchmark to markets that are ripe for revolution. For Kinetic Green, this marks the beginning of our global journey, bringing Made in India EVs to the World. Kinetic Green’s aim is to build a USD 1 billion EV business by 2030 and this JV will play a key part in our global ambitions.”

Ferruccio Lamborghini, Vice-President, Tonino Lamborghini, said, "This collaboration with Kinetic Green marks an exciting new chapter in the history of the brand founded by my father over 45 years ago. Together, we have created a project that combines the best of two worlds: the elegance and identity of Italian design with the strength, efficiency, and innovation of Indian manufacturing. This is more than an industrial joint venture – it is a bridge between two entrepreneurial cultures, united by a shared vision of the future. At Tonino Lamborghini, we believe in redefining everyday experiences into expressions of style, performance, and unmistakable identity. Our brand philosophy is deeply rooted in my family’s heritage yet constantly driven by innovation and a passion for excellence. With these golf and lifestyle carts, we are bringing that philosophy to life in a new segment – delivering not just vehicles, but a bold statement of lifestyle in motion. We chose India not only as a strategic production base, but also as a symbol of openness, growth, and global ambition. With Kinetic Green, we share fundamental values: a deep focus on the customer, continuous innovation, and meticulous attention to detail. The result is a product range that reflects the very soul of our brand – powered by cutting-edge technology and destined for discerning customers around the world. The Tonino Lamborghini Golf Carts embody our vision of electric lifestyle mobility: elegant, high-performing, and purpose-driven. We are proud to launch this journey in such a dynamic market as India, confident that it will carry our style and passion for excellence to every corner of the world."

The Tonino Lamborghini golf carts technical specifications feature a tailored MacPherson suspension for a smooth ride and advanced four-wheel hydraulic brakes for secure stopping. Power comes from a robust 45 Nm of torque and 30 percent gradeability, allowing for effortless navigation across various terrains. An advanced, maintenance-free li-ion battery with a 10-year life provides a claimed range of up to 150km on a single charge, supported by a wireless battery charging system and an on-board charger, all backed by a 5-year warranty. For enhanced usability, the carts include Universal Drive for both left and right-hand configurations, a Smart TFT Dashboard and safety features like Hill Hold and Electronic Parking Brakes. Convenience is key with wireless mobile charging, LED headlights, extended smart storage, a golf bag holder, a caddie stand and a foldable windshield.

At present, the partners state that they holds a commanding 40.3 percent market share in North America, with Europe and Asia-Pacific also showing substantial growth. Kinetic Green Tonino Lamborghini has ambitious global expansion plans. The initial phase will focus on Asia, specifically India and the UAE, before rapidly expanding into Europe, the USA and other key markets.

The joint venture aims to be present in 30 countries within the next five years, representing 80 percent of the global golf cart market.

Manufacturing of these e-carts has commenced at Kinetic Green's integrated facility near Pune, India, with the Nhava Sheva port near Mumbai designated for export operations. The company has already appointed distributors in India, various markets in the UAE (including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia) and the Maldives.
