JAKARTA - Honda, a well-known automotive brand from Japan, intends to present a production version of its first electric motor for the Indian market, Activa. To prepare it, the company increased its production capacity by adding two production lines at the Gujarat and Karnataka facilities.

According to a report from the Gaadiwaadi website, Saturday, April 20, this effort was made with the aim of meeting the demand for two-wheeled vehicles with gasoline and electric engines.

The manufacturer with the 'H' logo plans to start production of its first electric motor at the Karnataka factory in December 2024 with a focus on expanding and growing markets.

In addition, Honda has a target of increasing growth by 15 percent for 2024 to 2025. Furthermore, the construction of third line production at the Gujarat factory is expected to produce an additional volume of around 6,600 units.

It is hoped that the emergence of the EV Activa can accelerate this trend considering the demand for two-wheeled electric vehicles in India is quite high.

Actually, Honda has been working on the electrical device for a long time, but it seems that it has been delayed. Even in 2020 the manufacturer had dismissed talks about the presence of the motorbike.

There are several obstacles that Honda has revealed, such as battery prices, to the lack of adequate charging infrastructure. However, along with significant developments over the past three years, Honda is preparing to launch an EV Activa.

In addition to the EV Activa, Honda is also working on developing two models of electric two-wheeled vehicles and batteries to be assembled locally in India. It is reported that the battery exchange system is being considered.
