The Chennai based OEM has been in top gear for global expansion and to fulfil the same, it has been at the forefront of forging partnerships and collaborations. The brand made its intent evident with the move of collaborating with BMW Motorrad and acquiring Norton motorcycle to onboard the much-required expertise & experience of the global consumer taste.
The acquisition of the startup named Vermögensverwaltungs through its wholly owned subsidiary TVS Motor (Singapore) will provide TVS Motors with EV-related technology and related assets in Germany including engineering, sales, R&D unit and service support. Under the listing obligation and disclosure provision, the manufacturer made the announcement about the deal to SEBI (Security & Exchange Board of India).
