Honda Motor Co. might undertake a project to let businesses in India test ride its electric motorcycles on a trial basis next year as the government pushes eco-friendly mobility to address worsening air pollution.
“We are planning to implement an electric two-wheeler trial program in the next fiscal year,” Minoru Kato, president of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. said in a recent interview. Fiscal 2020 will begin in April.
Honda has already begun lease sales in Japan of the PCX EV scooter, an electric version of the PCX. Kato said it plans to use its China-made electric two-wheelers for the project envisioned in India.
