The Hong Kong government is replacing its entire gasoline-powered motorcycle fleet including police motorcycles with electric-powered Brammo motorcycles.
The Hong Kong Police Force will use the law enforcement version of the 2012 Brammo Enertia Plus. Engineers from Hong Kong’s Water Supplies Department will also use the civilian version of the Brammo Enertia Plus to travel to service locations around the Chinese city-state.
Production of Brammo electric motorcycles is now underway in a facility in Sárvár, Hungary.
The facility will produce about 660 units a month. The facility will initially be used to produce the Brammo Enertia and Enertia Plus for North America, Europe and Asia.
“Now that our new facility has begun production, we have a significant number of customer and fleet orders that we will be fulfilling this year,” says Craig Bramscher, founder and CEO of Brammo. “It’s been a very satisfying year with customer orders, new dealers and now production all gaining momentum much faster than anticipated.”
The Sárvár facility is operated by electronics manufacturing provider Flextronics. Brammo announced a partnership with Flextronics in September 2010 to increase the company’s production capabilities to a global scale.
