Yamaha Motor, a Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer, is working on an electric scooter for the Indian market that might hit the streets in the next two to three years.
According to Yamaha Motor India chairman Eishin Chihana, the rate of vehicle electrification in India has startled the business, and “it is expediting” product development for this market.
India might become a major base for the company’s electric scooter exports to Europe and other regions.
“With the rising fuel prices, lower fuel efficiency of the (petrol-driven) scooter, we expect the penetration (of electrification) to be a lot more in the scooter space,” he said, adding that it is currently making a prototype of the electric scooter.
