Hyundai & TVS EV Three-Wheeler Collaboration

Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) on 20 April 2026 to work together on electric three-wheelers for India.

The partnership focuses on designing, manufacturing, and selling electric three-wheelers meant for last-mile transport, such as short-distance passenger and cargo movement. This comes after they showcased a concept vehicle at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.

Under the agreement, Hyundai will lead the design and use its global technology and research capabilities to develop the product. TVS Motor will support development using its experience in electric vehicles and three-wheelers and will handle manufacturing and sales in India.

The vehicles will be designed specifically for Indian roads and conditions, with a focus on practical and affordable mobility. TVS will also take care of selling these vehicles in the domestic market and may export them in the future.

A key part of the plan is to manufacture most components locally in India. This will help reduce costs, improve supply chains, create jobs, and ensure better service and spare parts availability.

Overall, this partnership aims to bring new electric three-wheelers to India's large last-mile mobility market while supporting cleaner and more sustainable transport.
