The launch positions TVS as a serious contender against established players like Honda and Yamaha in the electric mobility space.

The timing is perfect—Indonesia is actively promoting electric mobility through government incentives, creating a receptive environment for innovative products like the iQube. As global markets embrace sustainable transportation, TVS Motor’s Indonesian adventure could be the first of many international success stories for Indian EV brands.
