Bharat Forge today announced a strategic investment of Pound 10 million in Tevva Motors (Jersey), a company incorporated and registered under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 carrying out its operations from Chelmsford, UK.
 
Tevva provides electric powertrain solutions for Commercial Vehicles & buses in the 7.5 -14 T weight category. This is soon to be extended for the development of new Commercial Vehicles, especially trucks and buses.

This investment coupled with the ongoing work at Tork Motorcycles will enable Bharat Forge to gain better understanding of the 2-wheeler and the Commercial Vehicle EV space.''
