The two-wheeler companies had first signed their long-term strategic partnership in April 2013 to manufacture sub-500cc motorcycles for the global markets. Under this collaboration, they developed three products on the 310cc platform - BMW G 310 R, BMW 310 GS, and TVS Apache RR 310. "Our strong synergies have led to the development of impressive offerings in the sub-500cc segment," said Markus Schramm, Head of BMW Motorrad.

All the jointly developed products from these companies have been well accepted across markets in EU, US, Japan, China and India, with over 100,000 customers. "In light of our fruitful association with TVS, we are delighted to extend our cooperation to include... joint development of new platforms including electric vehicles," Schramm added.
