Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India outlines its future operations for India – Global Resource Factory (Manesar) to become export hub for HMSI
Gurugram, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) today unveiled its outline of a progressive plan towards business transformation for futuristic and alternative transport. At the same time, the company aims to further strengthen its Manesar (Haryana) plant as a global resource factory for ‘Making in India for the World’.
In addition, HMSI has accelerated the development of fuel-efficient products to boost export performance. As part of this plan, the company plans to phase out and integrate flex-fuel technology into its product portfolio.
The entry level motorcycle category will continue to have a significant share in the total sales of 2 wheelers in India. Taking advantage of this opportunity, HMSI will introduce new low-end motorcycles in the commuter segment to serve the people.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President and CEO, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, said, “Combining Honda’s global expertise with strong indigenous support will further expand HMSI’s operations in India.
The phased implementation of Flex-Fuel technology and the introduction of various EV models in the future will make the journey rewarding and exciting. While HMSI also plans to enter the low-end motorcycle segment, its new exciting model will gain momentum in the local market. At the same time, by spreading its wings abroad, HMSI aims to serve the more developed countries with the highest level of its international quality standards. ”
Commenting on the future of HMSI, Mr. Yadavinder Singh Guleria, Director, Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said,
The supply chain problem persists and the industry faces additional challenges in commodity and fuel prices, but we expect the market to continue to improve on the basis of last year’s lows. “
HMSI products are in demand and appreciated worldwide, bringing happiness to 40 countries around the world, including Europe and Japan, for developing growth engines for the world. That is why HMSI aims to increase export performance in developed markets by providing world class products with its best manufacturing technologies.
Bringing happiness to the low-end customer segment
HMSI plans to introduce low-cost motorcycles by expanding its operations in the entry-level two-wheeler segment. The new offer will facilitate safe and reliable daily transactions for its customers.
Flex fuel technology and electric mobility
With over a decade of expertise in flex fuel technology in the world and over 7 million satisfied customers in Brazil, HMSI is poised to bring easy flex fuel transformation to the two-wheeler market in India.
While HMSI plans to introduce various EV models in the coming years, it will get support from Honda’s other subsidiaries in the country. The company is currently in the feasibility study phase for its range of EV models and is developing a complete ecosystem in India.
Safety – the basis for future growth of HMSI
Honda looks forward to zero traffic collisions involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles by the year 2050. With an international vision, HMSI is enhancing the performance of its safety targets, including awareness and morning training initiatives. It will be important to focus on safer and more reliable two-wheelers with trained manpower to promote safe riding.
HMSI’s Transforming Manesar Plant – Global Resource Factory
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, a company ready for the future, is rapidly adopting new regulations with the 360-degree advanced turnaround of our original factory in Manesar. At present all corporate operations in HMSI are conducted under one roof and in one location, which promotes collaborative efficiency across all teams and verticals. In addition to productivity, various new digital initiatives in day-to-day operations will increase the balance between the life and work of all HMSI associates.
