Hindustan Motors To Produce Electric Scooters & Cars; This Includes The New Ambassador EV

There probably isn't any automotive brand in India that has as rich a heritage as Hindustan Motors. In 1957, Hindustan Motors signed an agreement with the British Motor Corporation to manufacture the Morris Oxford Series III in India. This is how the HM Ambassador was birthed.

Over the few decades that were to come, the HM Ambassador absolutely dominated Indian roads, becoming the car of choice for the wealthy, the political elite, government officials, and even the common man. In recent years though, the car's popularity decreased due to various reasons.

Now though, it seems like the time for Hindustan Motors' comeback has arrived. Reports suggest that it will now be re-launched as an EV manufacturer. Its resurrected life will start off with the manufacturing of electric scooters, for which the manufacturer has reportedly partnered with a European EV brand.

The upcoming electric scooters will be manufactured at its plant near Kolkata. At a later stage, Hindustan Motors will launch electric cars too and it is quite possible that we might see an electric Ambassador.
