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

Tvs Flame launched at 45,000 ex-showroom Chennai

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.
