Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has planned to launch a flexi-fuel model of motorcycle in India by the end of 2024, the company’s chief executive officer (CEO) said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.
“Our internal target is minimum, one model, the first model of flexi-fuel motorcycle to be launched by end-2024,” Atsushi Ogata, CEO of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, said at the International Conference on Biofuels in New Delhi.
He said his company is waiting for a clear roadmap by the government on flexi-fuel vehicles.
As far as 20 per cent ethanol-blending is concerned, he said “all our engine line-ups can apply” the fuel specification.
India, the third-biggest oil importer and consumer, has expanded the excise duty exemption for biofuels to boost the blending of higher proportions of ethanol and components of vegetable oil with diesel and gasoline.
