Bengaluru-based electric motorcycle manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive has launched the F77 Mach 2 in Europe at EUR 9,990 (approx. INR 877,921).

The pricing was announced by the EV maker at the 110th Edition of EICMA, Milan, where it not only launched the F77 Mach 2 in Europe, but also showcased the F99 Racing Platform and the futuristic Concept X e-motorcycle.

To begin with, the F77 Mach 2 will be sold in Turkey, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With this Ultraviolette became the first Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer to enter the European Union.

On the other hand, over the course of the next two years, Ultraviolette aims to establish a presence in Europe, North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia.

The Ultraviolette F99 Racing Platform is powered by a 90kW motor that allows the e-motorcycle to accelerate from zero to 100kmph in a claimed flat three seconds. The active aero and cooling ducts are designed to channel air towards the motor. Weighing only 178kg, the F99 can reach a top speed of 265kmph. 

On the other hand, the Concept X e-motorcycle gives a glimpse into the company’s vision and future design language.

Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO, Ultraviolette, said, “Ultraviolette is on a journey to create an extensive lineup of electric vehicles that cater to a global audience. The F77 Mach 2, F99 Racing Platform, and Concept X are all part of our vision to build an electric future that offers riders more choices that harmoniously bring together performance and design. Today’s showcase at EICMA is yet another statement of our commitment to constantly innovate and disrupt the status quo.”

Niraj Rajmohan, Co-founder and CTO, Ultraviolette, added, “The launch of the F77 Mach 2 in Europe is a major milestone, but it’s just the beginning. At Ultraviolette, we’re not just focused on developing one product. We are building an entire ecosystem of electric vehicles that cater to different purposes—from urban mobility to racing. EICMA is the perfect stage to showcase our commitment to leading the charge in electric mobility, with many more innovations to come.”

India Yamaha Motor, a leading two-wheeler manufacturer in the country, recently concluded its Yamaha National 3S Grand Prix 2024–25, a nationwide competition designed to recognise and reward the skills of dealership staff crucial to delivering Yamaha's 'Premium 3S' experience (Sales, Service and Spares). The initiative aims to enhance customer service across the country and acknowledge the vital role played by on-ground personnel.

The 2024-25 Grand Prix featured five categories: Technician, Service Advisor, the new Tele-Caller segment, Parts Manager and Sales Consultant. The competition unfolded in three stages, beginning with regional contests from 15 August to 30 September 2024, which saw a record 7,567 participants. Top performers from online examinations then advanced to zonal rounds held between 17 February and 18 March 2025.

The national finals took place on 24th and 25th June 2025 at Yamaha’s Surajpur facility in Greater Noida, where 40 finalists vied for top honours. The top three in each category were felicitated by senior management. Notably, the winning technician will represent India at the World Technician Grand Prix 2025 in Japan this November.

Judging criteria varied by category, assessing technicians on troubleshooting and maintenance, service advisors on customer handling and timely vehicle delivery and tele-callers on communication skills. Sales consultants were evaluated on their ability to provide a premium customer experience, while parts managers were judged on efficient stock management and customer service.

Ravinder Singh, Senior Vice-President at Yamaha Motor India Sales, said, "The Yamaha National 3S Grand Prix reflects our deep commitment to nurturing frontline talent and recognizing the critical role they play in delivering an exceptional experience for our customers. This platform not only motivates our dealership staff to strive for excellence but also reinforces our brand promise of quality, reliability and top-tier service. We congratulate all the finalists and look forward to seeing the national winners representing India at the global stage in Japan.”

The National Technician Grand Prix (NTGP), which first launched in India in 2010 with 350 participants, has seen exponential growth. The 2023 edition engaged over 6,000 contestants, with the introduction of the Tele-Caller category in 2024-25 pushing overall participation to an all-time high of 7,567. Beyond the competitive aspect, the Grand Prix underscores Yamaha's commitment to ensuring staff are well-equipped to provide exceptional customer care, a core focus for the company. This commitment is further supported by the Yamaha Motor Academy (YMA), a global training initiative that develops 3S dealership staff into 'professional teams' to ensure premium customer service at all touchpoints.
