In our understanding, high utilization of the asset – that is the two-wheeler itself, is the key for the success of this business model.  Scooters with universal acceptance due to their unisex appeal, comfort and convenience and are the most preferred choice of customers availing shared mobility services. As a result, more and more shared mobility companies are inducting Honda scooters – the undisputed first choice of scooter customers in their fleet. We thank Drivezy for trusting in Honda for their latest fleet expansion of 3000 units and wish them the very best.”

From initial business with 10 shared mobility players in 2014, Honda is now the first choice of over 30 shared mobility players operating in key towns like Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Gurgaon, Goa etc.

Honda’s products are preferred by shared mobility players across all 3 types of operations-aggregators, two-wheeler rentals and the digitized self-ride rentals.
