TVS Motor Company (TVSM) has unveiled plans to integrate the operations of Singapore-based electric vehicle startup ION Mobility into its own, marking a strategic move to strengthen its EV presence in Southeast Asia. This development follows TVSM’s earlier role as a strategic investor in ION Mobility. Through the integration, TVSM will acquire ION’s assets, intellectual property, and core team—experts in industrial design, engineering, software, and supply chain management.
Sharad Mohan Mishra, President of Group Strategy at TVSM, highlighted that this partnership aligns closely with the company’s ‘Reimagine 2030’ vision. He emphasized that combining ION’s innovative capabilities with TVSM’s robust R&D, manufacturing scale, and quality systems will accelerate their expansion across Southeast Asia.
This move is part of TVSM’s broader ambition to tap into the region’s rapidly growing two-wheeler market, particularly the rising demand for electric mobility. The company sees this integration not just as a consolidation of talent and technology, but as a strategic leap toward leading the EV transition in key international markets.
