Bharat Mobility Expo 2025: Hyundai showcased groundbreaking concepts of electric three-wheelers and micro four-wheelers at the Auto Expo, currently underway at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The Korean automaker also announced plans to explore a strategic partnership with TVS Motor Company to revolutionise last-mile mobility in India. This potential collaboration aims to leverage Hyundai's design, engineering, and technological expertise, while TVS will contribute its manufacturing and marketing strengths. To demonstrate the vision of the partnership, Hyundai showcased two concepts at the Auto Expo: the E3W and the E4W.
