Yamaha Commences Online Two-Wheeler Sales

It’s available only in Chennai for now but Yamaha has plans to expand it to 300 dealerships nationwide 

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it a lot of changes in the way we function. After months of lockdown, businesses are slowly but surely getting back in action. One of the biggest impacts the pandemic has had is in the way we purchase goods, with more consumers opting for online purchases to maintain social distancing and safety. Even some automotive brands have commenced online sales, and the latest to join this bandwagon is Yamaha India. Also Read: Yamaha Fascino 125, RayZR 125 Receive Their Monthly Price Hike.

For this purpose, the Japanese brand has created a “virtual store” where customers can check out the new products and there’s also a buyers guide to help in making the purchase decision. Yamaha dealers will also provide customers contactless delivery and they can interact with dealership personals via various chat apps. If there are some issues that haven’t been resolved through offline communication, Yamaha dealers will also provide doorstep service for their purchase related enquiries.

Yamaha will kick-start this virtual store as a pilot project in Chennai for now and will cover dealerships in the capital of Tamil Nadu. However, the Japanese brand has a target to make the virtual store a pan-India operation by covering around 300 dealerships. On the product end, Yamaha last introduced the new FZ 25 which gets cosmetic updates and a new BS6 motor. Apart from its new 250cc offering, the Japanese brand has no intentions to introduce any new product in India this year. However, there are rumours that it’s working on launching the Yamaha XSR155 in India in 2021.
