Hyundai Motor Company unveiled concept models of an advanced electric three-wheeler and micro four-wheeler at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. In collaboration with TVS Motor Company, Hyundai is exploring contributions to India’s last-mile mobility market.
These concepts reflect Hyundai’s commitment to its ‘Progress for Humanity’ vision, focusing on convenience, sustainability, and adaptability in India’s evolving transportation landscape. While no formal agreements have been made, Hyundai is considering providing design, engineering, and technology, while TVS will explore manufacturing and marketing the vehicles.
“Hyundai Motor is a customer-centric brand, and caring for people in India is our first mission. This commitment has driven us to explore designing micro-mobility solutions tailored to India’s unique environment, reimagining the iconic three-wheeler to enhance mobility experiences through thoughtful design,” said SangYup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Hyundai and Genesis Global Design. “Collaborating with TVS Motor, we aim to locally produce the three-wheeler while exploring global opportunities for the four-wheeler, blending intuitive functionality with the spirit of a rapidly innovating India.”
With a focus on contributing to the nation’s progress, these concepts exemplify Hyundai Motor’s advanced capabilities, engineering expertise and technological innovation, aimed at reshaping last-mile connectivity in India. The concept vehicles can not only address the pressing need for sustainable mobility but also align with the evolving demands of Indian roads and urban infrastructure.
“TVS is proud to explore a partnership with Hyundai Motor to shape the future of urban mobility,” said Sharad Mishra, President, Group Strategy, TVS Motor Company. “By combining Hyundai Motor’s global expertise with our deep understanding of mobility solutions, we aim to develop next-generation micro-mobility solutions that redefine last-mile connectivity. This potential collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation and sustainability. With a shared vision, we are confident that this partnership under discussion will deliver impactful solutions that set new standards in design, engineering, technology, and quality.”
Hyundai Motor, in collaboration with TVS, is exploring the development of futuristic mobility solutions, including an Electric Three-Wheeler Concept designed for India. The concept aims to reimagine India’s motor rickshaw into an eco-friendly, versatile vehicle for both passenger and logistics use, with a foldable seat for wheelchair users to enhance accessibility. It features an adjustable body height for navigating waterlogged streets and an angled windshield for improved visibility and safety.
The design prioritizes human-centered engineering with a flat floor, extended wheelbase, and large tires for comfort and smooth rideability. The vehicle also incorporates thoughtful design elements, such as a colour representing India’s aspirations, and materials like heat-reducing gloss black paint and water-resistant interiors suited to India’s climate.
Hyundai is focused on creating adaptable, modular, and sustainable solutions for last-mile connectivity, aligning with India’s infrastructure needs while emphasizing responsible innovation. The Four-Wheeler concept is still under review for potential global expansion.
