META4 said it invested in Voltly Energy, which manufactures sophisticated electric two-wheelers and provides energy-efficient EV charging solutions for all-electric cars.

Voltly Energy plans to produce at least 40,000 units in the first phase of the plant's operation before ramping up to 100,000 units over the next three years. Automation will be integrated into the new production plant, which would include the newest semi-robotics and cutting-edge manufacturing technology.
