Pune: India’s largest luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz continued its product offensive in the market and introduced the all-new AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé. The launch of the four-liter V8 AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé further bolsters the company’s core AMG range of pure performance Sports Utility Coupés in India. A stylish and electrified coupé with exceptional agility and driving dynamics, the all-wheel-drive AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé molds numerous vehicle personalities into one model, making it an equally practical everyday drive vehicle. The AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé is the 12^thAMG model available for AMG enthusiasts in India.

Martin Schwenk, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India commented, “AMG portfolio remains the fastest-growing segment for us and the launch of the AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé reinforces our strong presence in the luxury performance segment. This vehicle sets a high standard for design, the exclusivity of appointments, driving dynamics, and agility. Kitted out with the specific AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, the AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupe is a capable off-roader and an outstanding instance of Performance Luxury perfected by AMG.”

Mr. Schwenk further added, “Fascinating products supported by a wide retail network of exclusive AMG Performance Centres and complemented by AMG specific service programs for the discerning AMG customers have ensured our AMG strategy remains customer-centric. Fascinating products together with such initiatives have helped us in cementing our position as the most preferred luxury performance brand in the market today.”

Product Information:

The GLE range has been one of the most diverse line-ups of Mercedes-Benz in recent years, with products ranging from GLE 300 d 4MATIC LWB to performance-focused cars like the AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé, all sharing the same rugged underpinnings. The new AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé is the most powerful sibling of the AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé.

Top class performance with AMG 4.0-litre V8 Biturbo engine

The AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+Coupé’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 produces 612 horsepower at 6500 rpm, and 850 Nm of torque at 2500-4500 rpm. This performance SUV Coupé is extremely agile as it sprints from 0-100 in mere 3.8 seconds making it the fastest SUV Coupé in Mercedes-Benz’s India portfolio.

EQ Boost Hybrid System:

The AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé’s 4.0-liter engine is also the first-ever AMG V8 to feature the 48-volt EQ Boost hybrid system. The 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine is fitted with an integrated EQ Boost starter-alternator. It combines a starter motor and an alternator in a single, powerful electric motor, compactly integrated between the engine and the transmission. The EQ Boost hybrid system produces an additional 22 hp of output plus 250 Nm of torque.

Exterior Design:

The design has some radical peculiarities – the front apron, in a dynamic jet-wing design, is painted the same color as the vehicle and features black air intakes. Imposing power domes in the bonnet and the front splitter decked out in silver chrome, emphasize the sharper coupé design. The model is shod with 22-inch light-alloy wheels with AMG lettering as standard.

The newly designed rear apron, with AMG-specific details such as a striking diffuser in black and a trim strip in silver chrome, visually accentuates the vehicle’s width. The special AMG performance exhaust system, with two rectangular high-gloss chrome-plated twin tailpipe trim elements, completes the sportily dominant look.

Aesthetic interior design:

The interior design of the AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC Coupé embodies the precision and quality that is emblematic of the brand. It is characterized by a resolutely sporty ambiance with a dynamic and exclusive flair. Peculiar bits include the AMG exclusive Nappa leather touch added to the AMG seats, which also provide optimum lateral support and have an AMG-specific seat pattern layout with an “AMG” badge in the front backrests. The three-spoke AMG Performance steering wheel wrapped in full DINAMICA micro-fiber, with aluminum shift paddles, impresses with its optimum driver-oriented ergonomic design. A wide range of high-quality interior trim elements is available for further individualization of the interior. Optional AMG trim elements in carbon fiber lend a particularly sporty touch to the interior.

The intelligent AMG Cylinder Management system:

For increased efficiency, Mercedes-AMG has equipped its V8 engines with cylinder deactivation. In the partial-load range, cylinders two, three, five, and eight are deactivated, which crucially reduces the fuel consumption. When the driver has selected the “Comfort” drive program, the cylinder deactivation system kicks in a wide engine speed range, spanning 1000 to 3250 rpm. A special display in the instrument cluster indicates whether the cylinder deactivation system is in use and whether the engine is presently operating in four or eight-cylinder mode. The transition between these two operating states is immediate, fast, and torque-neutral.

Agile and exact: AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL roll stabilization:

The AMG-specific configuration for high vehicle dynamics is highly assisted by the active roll stabilization system based on 48 V technology. Dubbed ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL the system precisely compensates for body movements. The result is that, even when pushing the limits, handling remains precisely controlled and extremely direct. The stabilization system not only reduces body roll when cornering but also allows more precise tuning of the cornering and load cycle properties. In addition, it increases ride comfort when driving in a straight line because stimuli by one-sided road bumps are balanced out. Body movements can be actively and optimally adapted to the driving mode, which intensifies the driving experience.

Precise and fast: the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission:

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission is specially tuned to the requirements of the eight-cylinder engine in the AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé. The extensively tailored software enables extremely short shift times and fast multiple downshifts and delivers an especially emotive gearshifting experience thanks to the double-declutching function. Gear changes are performed with no interruption in tractive power. Dynamic acceleration and very short shift times are just as available as a fuel-efficient driving style depending on the selected mode.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with fully variable torque distribution:

The performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system continuously ensures the best possible ratio of dynamism, traction, and efficiency. The best possible torque split is continuously computed according to the driving conditions and driver’s input. The transition from the rear-wheel to the all-wheel drive and vice versa is seamless, as the intelligent control is integrated into the overall vehicle system architecture. Alongside traction and lateral dynamics, the all-wheel-drive also improves the longitudinal dynamics for even more powerful acceleration.

• Ola announces the launch of Ola S1, the first in its range of electric two-wheelers.
• The Ola S1 is designed and engineered in India for the world and will deliver the best scooter experience to the consumers. 
• Available in 2 variants – S1 and S1 Pro, in 10 stunning colors with satin, matte and glossy finishes.

Climate change is real and so is the need to reverse it. This is not news to any of us. And I know we all want to make a difference. But the question is how do we reverse climate change and also advance our development as a nation, together.

80% of the vehicles sold in India today are two-wheelers and despite that only 12% of India owns a two-wheeler. These vehicles consume 12,000 cr liters of fuel every year and are responsible for 40% of air pollution.

Clearly, this penetration is going to grow exponentially in the coming years and we simply cannot allow that to happen. So moving to EVs is no longer optional, it’s crucial.

But a shift like this requires innovation and manufacturing at a global scale and quality. That’s what we have been up to with the Ola Futurefactory – the largest 2W factory in the world – and that’s what we are introducing in the market today. It’s a revolution on two wheels. It’s called the Ola S1 and it is, quite simply, the best scooter ever made.

Our goal has been to build products that are both sustainable and revolutionary and with the S1, we’ve done just that. It has the best design, best performance, and best technology.

Best Design: Available in 10 stunning colors in satin, matte, and glossy finishes, Ola S1 comes with iconic twin headlamps, ergonomic and fluidic body, superior alloy wheels, sculpted seating, and the largest boot space that fits two helmets comfortably.

Best Performance: It is setting new industry benchmarks with a range of 181 Kms, acceleration of 0-40 kmph in 3.0 seconds, and a top speed of 115 kmph. It has a 3.97kWh of battery capacity, more than 30% higher than the next closest EV, and the most powerful motors in the category with 8.5 KW of peak power.

Ola S1 also comes with a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) which works actively to monitor the battery for optimal durability, performance, range, and safety.

Best Technology: S1 brings technology that is several generations ahead of anything on the market. It has no physical key and pairs with your phone with its “digital key” feature. This enables it to know when you’re near it and unlock automatically. It will also lock itself as you move away. It has a multi-microphone array, AI speech recognition algorithms built in-house, and one of the sharpest, brightest 7-inch touchscreen displays.

With our homegrown MoveOS, customers can not only alter the look & feel of the display but also how the scooter sounds. It will have four moods at launch – Bolt, Care, Vintage, and Wonder, and will offer a customized vehicle sound experience that matches your mood of the day. It will also come with three driving modes – Normal, Sport, and Hyper for you to personalize how you ride.

We have introduced a lot of safety features that are rare in the two-wheeler segment. Ola S1 has an anti-theft alert system, geo-fencing, and a battery that is flame-retardant and water & dust resistant. It also has front and rear disc brakes and a ‘Hill Hold’ feature which makes riding in traffic and navigating inclines easy.

The 110/70 R12 tires, rear mono-shock suspension, and front single fork suspension leads to much superior road grip and riding experience. It has a cruise mode that makes riding comfortable and convenient and a reverse mode that makes it easy to park and exit tight spaces.

With a robust grab rail for safety, a side step, and sculpted seating, pillion riders too will love how comfortable their ride will be. The scooters also come with voice recognition that enables you to complete your key tasks quickly without having to bother with navigating the menu.

Ola S1 also solves one of the biggest challenges which has hampered the growth of the EV sector in India has been the upfront cost. Ola S1 comes at a revolutionary price of Rs 99,999 onwards.

In states with active subsidy grants, Ola S1 will be much more affordable than many petrol scooters. For instance, after state subsidy in Delhi, the S1 would cost just Rs 85,009 whereas in Gujarat it would be only Rs 79,000. We have also tied up with banks and financial institutes for an EMI plan starting at Rs 2,999.

The first phase of Futurefactory is near completion and our teams are busy perfecting each and every feature for you. We will officially open Ola S1 for purchase from 8th September 2021 and will start delivering across 1000 cities and towns in October. Till then, Ola S1 is available for reservation at just INR 499.

Let’s truly Commit to Mission Electric

We are taking this moment to announce ‘Mission Electric’, a pledge that no petrol two-wheeler will be sold in India after 2025. This is a mission that we are putting forward to the industry and to the consumers to reject petrol and fully commit to electricity. It’s time for India to lead the way in electrification and build technologies of the future, here in India for the entire world!.

This is certainly not going to be easy but together we can and we must. The climate needs it, the world wants it and our country definitely deserves it.

Bangalore, August 05, 2021: Coworking major 315Work Avenue has announced the leasing of around 35,000 sqft of office space in Pune as part of its plan to expand its footprint in the country and mark its foray into the Pune market. The new lease reaffirms the company’s assessment that there would be consistent, high demand for flexible workspaces in the post-pandemic context. This premium office space has been leased in the prominent area of Baner in Pune, which is witnessing skyrocketing commercial growth. The company is planning to set up 700 plus seats in this space. The new facility would come with all modern amenities and reflect minimalism that would be appealing to clients. The expansion comes at a time when larger enterprises and corporates are seeing merit in setting up satellite offices across multiple locations to help people work nearer home and to enable a distributed workspace model.

Pune is Maharashtra’s second-biggest city and has seen some spectacular industrial growth in recent years, which has boosted demand for coworking spaces. The city is known for manufacturing, automobile, government, and private sector companies with a strong presence in the information technology segment. All of these factors, in combination with ongoing large-scale infrastructure upgrades, have made Pune an attractive place for investment.

315Work Avenue currently manages around 20,000 seats spread over 1 million sqft office space across 20 centers located in prime business hubs in Bangalore, Mumbai & Pune. The company also plans to add another 5 lakh sqft office space in the next 1 year. 315Work Avenue is in the final stages of discussion over signing up for another workspace in Hyderabad too. The company offers a variety of services and spaces like enterprise offices, co-working desks, private offices, meeting rooms, and virtual offices to corporates, mid-size enterprises, small teams, start-ups, and entrepreneurs depending on the needs of its users.

Commenting on the new development, Mr. Manas Mehrotra, Founder, 315Work Avenue said: “The pandemic has highlighted the importance of de-densification of office space and adoption of the hub and spoke model. In the wake of the pandemic, companies, especially large enterprises and multinationals are opting for flexible workspaces and reconsidering fixed asset investments in order to remain agile and retain the flexibility to adjust operations based on market conditions and recognize the inherent value offered by the flexible workspace model. 315Work Avenue has already achieved phenomenal growth in a short period and Pune will be an extremely strong market for us to strengthen our footprint and play an integral role in our overall growth journey. The launch of this center will inch us closer to our target of 30,000 seats in the next 1 year.”

“With prime locations, custom-crafted design & space, technology, international standards of health & safety, and community building as our key drivers, we are confident that our workspaces have an edge over the others in the industry and we are committed to revolutionizing the coworking industry” added Manas.
