TVS Motor Company, a major player in the Indian automotive industry, is making a significant £200 million investment in Norton Motorcycles, the renowned British brand it owns. This substantial funding will support new product development, facility upgrades, research and development (R&D), and advanced engineering, aiming to enhance Norton's global footprint.
Norton Motorcycles, based in Solihull, UK, plans to launch six new models over the next three years, targeting key markets including the US, Germany, France, Italy, and India. This strategic move aligns with TVS Motor's vision to elevate Norton as a global leader in the motorcycle industry.
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024, TVS Motor's Managing Director Sudarshan Venu, alongside Norton executives Robert Hentschel and Richard Arnold, unveiled their ambitious plans. Venu expressed enthusiasm about Norton's future, highlighting the brand's potential to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide with its new offerings.
Under the new leadership of Executive Director Richard Arnold, Norton is set to prioritize innovation and customer satisfaction. The brand's ethos of "Design, Dynamism, and Detail" will be reflected in the upcoming motorcycle models, promising exciting new products from next year.
This year also marks a milestone for Norton, as it fulfills commitments to previous customers and invests £2.3 million in refining the Commando and V4 platforms. With TVS Motor's backing, Norton is poised for a resurgence, combining British heritage with modern innovation to drive its growth in the global motorcycle market.
