TVS Flame with New Single Spark Engine

TVS has confirmed that it will launch the Flame by the end of March, this time with a new engine, developed by AVL. I had in an earlier post talked about how it would take time and money for TVS to give the flame a new engine. This is exactly what they have done. But what amazes me is the response time. Hardly ten days have past since the judgment and they already have a new engine ready.

This only means one thing, and that is that they knew it would be tough to win any legal battle which was bound to crop up and it did. Money obviously has been lost, and for the kind of numbers they sell it must be a big loss. However the new engined model should hit showrooms by the third week of March. This time around the company has made sure no legal hassles come up.

Also the company has gone on appeal in the High Court against the injunction. How successful the company is at getting the patent revoked in the wake of the injunction is yet to be seen.
