TVS and BMW are already in a partnership, and share the 310 platform that’s currently spawned three bikes for the Bavarian bikemaker and one for the Indian manufacturer. Now, according to an investor call, we’ve learnt that the recently revealed BMW CE 02 has also been designed, developed and built by TVS.
A couple of weeks ago, the Hosur-based manufacturer announced that it will soon be launching a brand new “electric-flying launch that will defy the status quo in mobility”. We have already established that this will be not be under the iQube umbrella, and given the fact that the CE 02 is being manufactured by TVS, we could also see a TVS product on the CE 02 platform.
When the BMW CE 02 was unveiled, the Bavarian manufacturer was very particular in stressing this wasn’t to be pigeonholed into the broad terms of either an electric scooter or bike. The full-fat version of the CE 02 makes 15hp and has a claimed range of 90km. It weighs in at 132kg and has a claimed top speed of 95kph.
The invite for the new TVS EV launch on August 23 mentions that “Thrill has a date”. If this new EV is indeed based on the CE-02 it could well be a sporty, youthful and performance-oriented product going by BMW’s impressive numbers.
