Motorcycle is more safer than cars? seems controversial, TVS tries to make this true. When some of our hatches and sedans doesn’t have ABS, TVS plans to bring ABS – Anti-lock Braking System to motorcycles. Infact only in 2008, Indian government plans to make ABS mandatory for all cars. First of all ABS in simple terms, ABS is to give motorcycles maximal braking effect without wheel lock-up in all-weather emergency situations, especially on slick roads.
In 1988 BMW introduced ABS on its motorcycles — a first in the motorcycle industry. TVS which bets on its R&D and has been setting trends in indian two wheeler market will bring this technology to indian market next year. TVS is currently testing the indigenously developed ABS technology on its bikes and scooters. This technology will be introduced possibly in high-end 180 and 200cc apache’s. “Very soon we could have ABS (anti-lock braking system) for the two wheelers as we continue to improve the technology,” Mr Harne, TVS Motor Company Senior Vice-President for R&D said.
What this means to us: Soon the concept of safer biking will blossom in the Indian two-wheeler market.
