Speaking on the occasion, Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President & CEO, HMSI said, "The transition from BS4 to BS6 was a challenging phase for the Indian automobile industry. Honda 2Wheelers India converted this challenge into opportunity to export to advanced countries and have started exporting CKD kits of our 125 cc motorcycle SP125 to Europe. This is a testimony of our superior quality and technology as well as commitment to expand our global footprint. We are looking forward to expand to many new markets in future."
The transition to the BS6 norms was not only a massive overhaul for the Indian auto industry but also opened new avenues for automakers with the new regulations complying with several other international markets. HMSI already exports to a number of global markets more prominently in Latin America, the Middle East and other parts of Asia. The export of the SP125 to Europe is a landmark moment for the Indian subsidiary of the Japanese giant.
