The 499cc Revo D+ single-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engines with electronic fuel injection are Euro V+ compliant, and are designed for the light quadricycle, L6e category of vehicles. Compact and efficient, the engine delivers 6.0 kW of power at 3000 rpm and 26 Nm torque between 1800–2200 rpm, ensuring superior fuel efficiency, exceptional NVH performance, low friction, and performance reliability for microcars that has resulted in customer acceptance across Europe.
The stringent Euro V+ compliance norms were met by rigorous European grade quality assurance practices, including endurance testing, cold-weather validation, lifecycle reliability assessments, and emissions-testing protocols aligned to international regulatory requirements. This demonstrates Greaves Cotton’s capability to meet the demanding environmental, quality, and performance expectations of advanced global markets.
With Europe’s varied climatic conditions and high customer expectations, the seamless adoption of the Euro V+ engine across multiple countries reflects Greaves’ ability to engineer products that perform reliably in demanding geographies. The powertrain’s acceptance highlights the company’s international-standard R&D capabilities and its commitment to delivering precision-engineered solutions tailored to the needs of discerning global customers, ranging from younger drivers who expect responsive acceleration, to older users who value superior NVH performance.
Greaves’ development approach goes beyond just the engine by delivering a complete vehicle control ecosystem, thereby strengthening Greaves Cotton’s position as a solutions-driven engineering partner for global OEMs. This marks a significant evolution in the company’s R&D journey from being a powertrain supplier to becoming a provider of end-to-end mobility solutions tailored to the needs of advanced international markets.
