Maruti is likely to launch WagonR EV in partnership with Toyota.
New Delhi: The transition to electric vehicles is taking way longer than expected, as many top automakers such as Maruti Suzuki, Toyota and Tata have been slow in launching EV models of their existing vehicles or rolling out new models.
Maruti Suzuki had earlier pointed out that electric vehicles are at a very nascent stage in the Indian automotive market. The company had also scrapped the plans of launching an electric WagonR anytime soon in India.
However, the long wait may end soon, as Maruti Suzuki was recently seen testing the electric version of one of its best selling cars, WagonR. According to a report by RushLane, the electric version of WagonR is a test mule, as the car was found sporting a Toyota logo present in its front and wheel caps. The test mule points out that Maruti Suzuki is likely to launch the WagonR EV in partnership with its alliance partner, Toyota.
