The road map for electric mobility in India has been made public by Yamaha Motor India Chairman Eishan Chihana has stated that the company is currently conducting durability test runs for its electric scooters and that they will be released in the following three years, despite the fact that the Japanese manufacturer had previously unveiled the Yamaha Neo’s at a dealer event.
In an interview with a publication, Yamaha stated that they are currently considering all options, including importing their current electric vehicles as completely built units (CBUs), completely knocked down units (CKDs), or even assembling them with significant localization. These vehicles are currently sold in Europe and Taiwan. A “reliable electric scooter” is what Yamaha plans to introduce.
Yamaha currently manufactures its products in India with more than 90 per cent localization at its three plants in Faridabad (Haryana), Surjapuri (Uttar Pradesh) and Kanchipuram (Tamil Nādu), from where it also exports to about 30 countries.
The Japanese manufacturer currently has the Neo’s e-scooter in its European portfolio, while the EC-05 and radical looking EMF e-scooters are part of their current Taiwanese electric lineup. Yamaha had also unveiled its entire lineup of e-scooters and e-bikes earlier this year.
