On Wednesday, Ampere unveiled its product strategy and said it aims to expand into the B2C and B2B segments by introducing scooters in the private buyer and last-mile delivery categories. Currently, the company sells three electric scooters: the Primus, Magnus EX and Zeal EX. However, with an aggressive product strategy, the company plans to launch several models in the current financial year.
