The scooter will still have storage space for a helmet and TVS has been working for this scooter for a while. The company will be targeting urban buyers and at the same time now the hybrid technology does get an advantage of subsidy too. This scooter will come with hybrid economy and hybrid power modes as well. The TVS Hybrid scooter will be launched in India and we could expect TVS to even export this scooter to other developed markets as well. The TVS brand is at the moment working towards getting the Akula 310 for the Indian car market. There will even a TVS hybrid scooter that will be launched sometime soon.
