minoru kato: Fiscal 2020 will begin in April. ; Honda has already begun lease sales in Japan of the PCX EV scooter, an electric version of the PCX. Kato said it plans to use its China-made electric two-wheelers for the project envisioned in India, according to The Japan Times. While the private use of electric motorcycles and scooters will take some time to develop on a mass scale, the vehicles could be initially used for commercial purposes in India, Kato said. We are planning to implement an electric two-wheeler trial program in the next fiscal year, Minoru Kato, president of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. said in a recent interview. Honda unveiled the plan after the National Institution for Transforming India, the government think tank known as NITI Aayog, proposed the full public use of electric three-wheelers by 2023 and two-wheelers with engines below 150cc by 2025. In the meantime, industry bodies such as the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and the Confederation of Indian Industry have also joined the growing chorus of concerns over NITI Aayog's proposal. Kato regards the proposal as unrealistic, saying the industry needs a proper road map and infrastructure development to complete the transition to EVs.
