Greaves Cotton, the INR 1,900 crore engineering company in India, has developed a new engine that could be used in Quadricycles. Greaves say that their new G265 engine has been specially developed on an all-new platform and would be ideally suited for the new segment of Quadricycles, which would begin plying on Indian roads late next year.
