EV Marathon to spread awareness on EV adoption

OTO organized the inaugural 2Wheeler EV Marathon in Bengaluru, supporting electric vehicle (EV) adoption and raising awareness about reducing CO2 emissions.



The event, inaugurated by Commandant RK Singh of the Indian Coast Guard, aligns with OTO's commitment to encouraging the switch from traditional two-wheelers to EVs for environmental sustainability. In FY23, EV two-wheelers constituted nearly 5% (7.3 lakh) of the 15.86 million two-wheelers sold in India. Sumit Chhazed, CEO of OTO, emphasized the significant potential for increasing EV penetration and urged consumers to consider electric options for their next two-wheeler. Industry leaders like TVS Electric, Ampere, Okinawa, and others joined the marathon, highlighting the importance of EV adoption for a sustainable future.

The event showcased a diverse range of electric vehicles, fostering enthusiasm and interest in transitioning to electric mobility.
