Japanese automaker Honda optimistic of launching EVs in India, says mission can be accomplished if there is enough market demand

India TV News  

Japanese automaker Honda can "very quickly" bring electric vehicles to India if there is enough market demand to sustain business, but multiple technologies must be considered for future mobility, according to a senior company official. Mooting a road map with multiple technologies, he said: "As things progress and looking as how the energy mix progresses, one could look at phasing out hybrids and then moving to battery EVs." Commenting on the company's road map in terms of sales network, Goel said Honda is looking to expand its sales network in smaller towns as it expects robust demand for its mass market products to come from these locations going ahead. Goel said majority of the company's sales come from tier 1 cities but with products like Amaze, it would like to appeal to customers in tier 2,3 towns as well.
