TVS Motor Company is set to hit the market with three wheelers in 2005. R Chandramouli, vice-president (sales and marketing), said the company is working on a number of three-wheeler variants. |
"We are looking at CNG, LPG, hybrid (oil and electric) versions of it apart from the usual oil," he said. |
|
TVS believes people will enforce better compliance with pollution norms and the company is readying for the changed scenario. |
|
"We are looking at the future when environmental concern will play a critical role choosing the fuel. Moreover, as private players come in petro retailing, availability of LPG stations will also increase," he said. |
|
TVS also feel the hybrid model will be well appreciated given its importance containing auto emission. The three wheelers will have a in-built system to shift between oil and electric so that emission is kept in check. |
|
"There are times, like when the engine starts, when pollution is highest. The challenge before us to devise a technology which will enable the engine to choose best option, electric or oil," Chandramouli said. |
