FirstpostHonda aims to start feasibility run of the electric scooter with its dealer partners at the end of the festive season this year. Two-wheeler major Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is gearing up to launch its first electric product in the country in the next financial year, a top company official has said. The company, which sells popular models like Activa and Shine in the country, aims to start feasibility run of the electric scooter with its dealer partners at the end of the festive season this year. When asked if the company has started testing the product in India, Ogata said: “Not yet officially but after Diwali…we will set up the feasibility study officially at our dealerships.” He said that many companies, including overseas players, were entering the EV segment as the government was supportive of investments in the green infrastructure. We are considering it because we have the know-how of EV technology since the last several decades, so why not consider it for the Indian market.” He noted that the upcoming electric scooter would add to the company’s line-up in the country and there were no plans to shift existing range like Activa or Shine to electric over the next three years.
