TVS Flame 125cc to be relaunched with single spark plug engine

Madras High Court had earlier restrained TVS from manufacturing, marketing and selling the Flame or the CCVTi technology. TVS will now launch the new 125cc Flame with single-spark plug ignition technology provided by AVL of Austria, as against the originally proposed twin-spark plug ignition technology.

Flame will use a new engine featuring a three-valve dual induction system, using the proven single-spark plug ignition, specially developed, patented and licensed to TVS Motor by AVL of Austria, a world leader in internal combustion engine technology.

Venu Srinivasan, Chairman, said Flame, with single-spark plug ignition, would be launched in March. He expected TVS Motor to distribute 20,000 Flame vehicles in March. The new TVS Flame would be priced at Rs. 46,000 ex-showroom. The new Flame is currently awaiting ARAI approvals.

TVS has decided to play it safe this time by appointing a team who would investigate any patent violations this time. TVS has lost precious time in the legal battle and to make matters worse for TVS the all new 125cc BAJAJ XCD Sprint and Yamaha's New Gladiator Type SS & RS are expected to give TVS a real run for their money.

Note:-
Bajaj was awarded global and Indian patent (195904) for DTSi small engines in 2002 for a period of 20 years.

As expected TVS Motor Company launched its 125cc ‘Flame’ on 14 dec, in Chennai with an ex- showrrom price of 45,000 and comes with disc brakes as an option.

Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Venu Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Director, TVS Motor, said, “This is the highest technology product in the country. A three-valve bike has been rolled out earlier, but this is the first time that a mass market roll-out is happening.” The company claims that the bike would deliver a mileage of 82 km a litre. Please note the the fuel economy / average claimed is under Indian driving condition and not Ideal driving condition.

The 125cc Flame would be launched all over the country in January and would compete with 125 cc Bajaj XCD, Yamaha Gladiator, Hero Honda Glamor and Honda Shine. Flame, along with a new Star Sport would cater to the entry level and executive segment.

Tvs Flame had earlier run into patent infringement issues as claimed by Bajaj Auto mobiles to its much acclaimed DTSi technology although the company claims the Flame is based on a technology patented by AVL in Austria and the rest of the world.
