Leading two- and three-wheeler maker TVS Motor Company on Thursday achieved production of 50,000 units of the BMW 310cc motorcycle from its Hosur factory.
This is a result of a more than five-year-old collaboration between TVS Motor and BMW Motorrad for manufacture of sub-500cc motorcycles for the Indian and global markets.
The Alliance has come out with three products on the 310cc platform - BMW G 310 R, BMW 310 GS and TVS Apache RR 310.
“Over the course of this partnership, we have had an opportunity to create a common learning platform for both the companies resulting in creation of aspirational products for the global market,” KN Radhakrishnan, Director & CEO, TVS Motor Company, said. BMW Motorrad has been selling Hosur factory-built BMW G 310 R and BMW 310 GS in overseas markets since December 2016. Today, they are sold in 90 countries.
