Will bring in EVs when market conditions are suitable: Daimler

: German commercial vehicle maker Daimler would bring in electric vehicles to India when the market conditions were suitable, a top official said Friday.

"I think you know Daimler is working on electrification of its vehicles across the world. We will bring this technology to India, when we think suitable to do so," company CEO and managing director, Satyakam Arya said here.

The company introduced electric vehicles in three major markets around the world and the response was "unimaginable," he said.

"We have launched in three key markets around the world. Japan, Europe and the US. The response is unimaginable (there)," he told reporters here.

Elaborating, on introduction of electric vehicles, he said, "electrification makes sense in different segments in a different way".

"If you talk about passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, buses, we already see lot of work happening. We have to wait and watch for commercial vehicles, medium heavy commercial vehicles. this is what we are also seeing in other parts of the world," he said.

Arya said they were quite happy as government was pushing electrification. "This will bring in sustained mobility".

On the roll out of BS-VI compliant vehicles, Arya said, the company was investing on producing BS-VI compliant vehicles.

"The difference between us and others, is we do not invest in technology. Because we have that. We localise the product."
