Mishra continued, “TVS is proud to partner with Hyundai to shape the future of urban mobility. By combining Hyundai’s global expertise with our deep understanding of mobility solution, we aim to develop next-generation micro-mobility solutions that redefine last-mile connectivity http://krx.co.kr.”

“We aim to locally produce the three-wheeler while exploring global opportunities for the four-wheeler, blending intuitive functionality with the spirit of a rapidly innovating India,” elaborated Sang Yup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Hyundai and Genesis Global Design, Hyundai Motor.

“This commitment has driven us to explore designing micro-mobility solutions tailored to India’s unique environment, reimagining the iconic three-wheeler to enhance mobility experiences through thoughtful design https://www.bharat-mobility.com/.

“Hyundai Motor is a customer-centric brand, and caring for people in India is our first mission,” he underlined.

The partners said these innovative concepts are crafted to redefine urban mobility. For instance, the electric three-wheeler concept designed by Hyundai Motor, boldly reimagines India’s ubiquitous motor rickshaw, transforming it into a versatile and eco-friendly vehicle that can serve not only as a people mover but also as an efficient logistics carrier or a rapid-response emergency vehicle.

They went on, “This innovative approach to mobility not only connects communities and livelihoods but also champions accessibility and inclusivity with a foldable seat for wheelchair users. Its compact size and manoeuvrability, enables the electric three-wheeler Concept to navigate narrow streets effectively. The vehicle’s body is adjustable, allowing it to be lifted to navigate waterlogged streets during the heavy rains of the monsoon season.” Fiinews.com
