Honda to announce Activa electric scooter on March 29?

Honda plans to launch its first electric scooter in India by March 2024. It is likely to carry the ‘Activa’ brand name.

Honda is all set to announce its electric 2-wheeler plans for India on March 29.

Honda’s first electric offering for the Indian market is expected to be an e-scooter based on the Activa. Reports suggest that the company might reveal it in concept form by the end of this month.

Atushi Ogata, MD & CEO of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), had stated that the company was developing electric 2-wheelers in collaboration with Honda Japan and that the first EV would be ready by the end of the current fiscal.

Ogata also revealed that Honda plans to launch its first electric scooter in India by March 2024. It is likely to carry the ‘Activa’ brand name.

The Activa Electric will be powered by an electric motor developed in-house and a fixed battery pack. However, Honda is also said to be working on swappable batteries. The company will be modifying its existing assembly lines to produce both, ICE and EVs within the same plant.
