Japanese automobile giant Honda, the largest two wheeler selling company in the world, is still lagging behind in the Indian market after its split from partner Hero Group last year. The company thinks introducing more fuel efficient bikes in the country will help strengthen its presence in India. It is developing a 125 cc scooter to be introduced for the first time in the country.
“Honda has the largest share (of two-wheelers) in the world. However, in India we are still number four. So, we are challenger in Indian market,” Honda R &D Co President, CEO and Representative Director Yoshiharu Yamamoto said.
Stating that the demand for models with good mileage is high in India, he said: “We need to introduce more products which Indian people want on a timely manner…We want to introduce more and more products which have very good fuel efficiency.”
Yamamoto said the company is working to improve the fuel efficiency of its existing models and “will also introduce new models as well, particularly in the scooter segment”.
