Honda has taken the wraps off its first-ever electric motorcycle. The new Honda E-VO remains specific to China at the moment, and is being built in collaboration with the brand's local partner, Guangzhou. Honda's maiden e-motorcycle is a café racer-styled offering bringing a retro touch to the otherwise modern package. The new Honda E-VO will be sold under the Wuyang-Honda brand in China for now.
The new Honda E-VO brings a nice take on e-motorcycles with its inspired design. The model features a round headlamp with a bubble-type fairing that blends into the rest of the panels. The sides are covered giving the bike a full-faired styling, albeit has a boxy appearance. The E-VO also uses a single-piece seat, while hardware like the clip-on handlebars and bar-end mirrors complete the look. The e-bike rides on 16-inch front and 14-inch rear alloy wheels, which is a rather unique setup.

The bike is underpinned by a forged aluminium chassis with the battery covered under the side panels. The Honda E-VO will get two battery options - 4.1 kWh and 6.3 kWh - promising a range of 120 km and 170 km (WMTC), respectively. The model weighs about 143 kg on the 4.1 kWh version with dual batteries, and can be fully charged in one hour and 30 minutes. The 6.2 kWh variant will get a triple-battery setup and weighs a heavier 156 kg. It also takes longer to charge at two hours and 30 minutes.
With respect to features, the Honda E-VO will be available with a front dash cam as standard, along with a rear dash cam on higher variant). The bike packs a TFT instrument console that packs navigation, music control, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and more. The E-VO will feature three riding modes.
The Honda E-VO is now on sale in China and is priced at 37,000 Yuan (approx. ₹ 4.39 lakh). That said, chances of the E-VO making its way to the Indian market seem slim for now. The company recently ventured in the electric mobility space with the QC1 and Activa e and that appears to be the brand's focus in the near-term.

Delhi: NDMC to build 27-metre clock tower at Talkatora roundabout
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will construct a clock tower at the Talkatora roundabout as a grand architectural landmark, Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal said on Sunday. He said that the clock tower would be approximately 27 metre tall and feature a 2-meter clock. Chahal stated that the project has received approval from the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC) and aims to establish a distinct identity within Lutyens' Delhi. The NDMC Vice Chairman added that most municipal bodies across the country have iconic clock towers as their symbols, and now NDMC will also develop such a grand architectural landmark. The structure will have an octagonal design, constructed using RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete), and will be adorned with a layer of clay bricks. The surrounding area will feature granite flooring, steel railings, and marble decorations. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 1.3 crore, and the target is to complete construction by December 2025. Chahal said: 'Clock towers are not just timekeeping devices; they are also symbols of a city's identity, heritage, and architectural significance. Historically, they have played a vital role in providing public time information.' This clock tower will not only serve as a new attraction for Lutyens' Delhi but also mark the entry point into the NDMC area from nearby MCD regions such as Rajendra Nagar and Karol Bagh, he said. The tower will include internal stairs to facilitate maintenance and repairs. For safety, railings will be installed around the tower, and the base will be decorated with marble, he said. Chahal added that the project is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Viksit Bharat @2047" and reflects the national mission of beautifying Indian cities and preserving cultural heritage. This grand architectural structure in the NDMC area will not only provide timekeeping but also stand as a symbol of national pride, cultural identity, and urban elegance, he said.

Air India eyes 200 narrow-body aircrafts in fresh talks with Airbus, Boeing: Report
NEW DELHI: Air India, owned by the , is reportedly negotiating with Airbus and Boeing regarding a substantial aircraft acquisition, including approximately 200 additional narrow-body aircraft, supplementing their significant 2023 purchase as part of their extensive renovation programme, according to industry sources quoted by Reuters. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The negotiations, which could encompass hundreds of aircraft across various categories according to two sources, build upon previously reported discussions concerning additional wide-body aircraft. Reuters sources indicate Boeing has gained an advantage in potentially supplying additional 777X aircraft. The possibility of another substantial order from India's national carrier emerged as aviation executives convened in India, the world's fastest-expanding aviation market, for a Delhi summit where Prime Minister is scheduled to speak on Monday. In 2023, Air India had placed an unprecedented order for 470 aircraft from both manufacturers, followed by an additional 100 Airbus aircraft order. These consecutive orders coincide with manufacturers facing supply chain difficulties, resulting in significant delivery delays and aircraft shortages. The acquisition of new aircraft is essential for Air India, which experienced limited investment during government ownership. The airline is currently implementing a comprehensive modernisation strategy to regain market share from international competitors. One of the sources indicated the potential narrow-body aircraft order involves 200 units, whilst two others suggested quantities in the hundreds. The timeline remains uncertain, with one source noting pricing negotiations could present challenges as Air India aims to secure terms comparable to IndiGo, which announced new partnerships and additional Airbus orders on Sunday.

India's aviation sector is growing at approximately 7% annually, according to Airbus projections. However, analysts note that inadequate infrastructure hampers growth, particularly regarding connectivity between smaller towns and major cities. Prior to the aviation conference in Delhi, the International Air Transport Association, representing 300 global airlines, indicated that Indian carriers were positioned for continued rapid expansion, while facing challenges from high fuel costs and taxation.
