The three-wheeled scooter space in global markets is small but rather competitive. Peugeot Motorcycles has been eyeing this space for some time now and now puts up Metropolis against the likes of Yamaha Tricity 300. While it is not yet known if the Metropolis will be brought to Indian shores, Anand Mahindra is quite upbeat about its prospects. "The new #PeugeotMetropolis Launched yesterday in Paris by #PeugeotMotocycles. A @MahindraRise company....The Lion roars...,"he tweeted.
Mahindra had had a major share in Peugeot Motorcycles but bought it entirely in October of 2019. With its manufacturing facility in France's Mandeure, Peugeot Motorcycles is now looking at expanding its product portfolio under Mahindra Rise.
