TVS Automobile-backed Ultraviolette Automotive, an electric motorcycle manufacturing start-up, has announced that it is setting up its first manufacturing and assembly facility near Electronic City in Bangalore.
Production of its electric motorcycle – the F77 – is said to begin in 2022 and the first batch of motorcycles are scheduled to enter the market in March, 2022. It may be recollected that the company had first showcased the pre-production version of the F77 in November 2019.
Ultraviolette says its manufacturing facility spread over 70,000 square feet will manufacture 15,000 electric motorcycles in the first year, and then rapidly scale up to an annual capacity of 1,20,000 units. This will generate employment for over 500 employees, who will be trained on electric vehicle manufacturing and assembly over the next five years.
