HMSI launching a Scooter on 12th June: xBhp News
HMSI (Honda) launching a new product on 12th June, most probably a Scooter.
Apparently, HMSI has revealed only the image, which you can see below. Apart from this, not much has been revealed. Earlier this year, HMSI had revealed that they plan to launch four new two wheelers every year in India. This new launch is an obvious part of this plan.
It is rumored that this Scooter will be called Activa-i or Activa Eye, maybe with a 125cc engine among other changes. It could be 150 too, although after Eterno's failure and the rise of automatics, chances of a 150 seem grim.
Funny fact is that over 1 Lac customers are still awaiting delivery for their Activa, that too just in some South Indian Cities.
It was also rumored by some to be CBR 400R's launch, but a Butterfly & curvy text fonts doesn't quite convey a CBR's true essence, although the "Ready to Fly" message looks much closer to the message.
By March 2014, Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India Pvt Ltd (HMSI) hopes to expand their annual capacity to 46 lakhs units. Capacities at all three HMSI plants at Manesar, Tapukara and Narasapur will be augmented to reach this target. The company’s third plant at Narasapur Industrial Area, near Bangalore, was inaugurated and initial capacity will be to the tune of 1.2 million units, while a third assembly line will be added by March 2014 which will increase capacities by 600,000 units.
A total investment to the tune of INR 1,350 crores has been pumped into Narasapur plant while the company has acquired a total of 23 acres in the region for creation of a riding track and other facilities. The company will also be commencing production of Dream Yuga from its Narasapur plant from June this year, while production of Activa will commence later this year. This augmented capacity will ensure shorter waiting periods for customers especially considering the 1 lakh customers who are yet awaiting delivery of Activa in a variety of south Indian cities.
Xbhp members, what do you expect it to be?
