TVS Automobile Solutions

Sometimes history empowers us.
Sometimes the present empowers us.
But what is really important is
what empowers us to drive tomorrow.

We wish to bring to your attention, a story.
A story from India.

The invention of the wheel changed mankind forever and empowered man like nothing had before. A similar trend can be witnessed in today’s transportation industry, taking giant leaps from horse carriages to cars, AMTs to self-driving cars, buses to electric buses to solar buses. Being one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets, India itself is home to more than 40 million passenger cars, trucks, and buses, along with 50,000 garages, 1,00,000 retailers and thousands of parts & service dealers.

TVS, the 110 year-old, Rs. 42,000-crore, automotive conglomerate, is India’s leading service provider, having touch points at every 50 km, while nurturing the hundreds of thousands of lives in the industry. TVS Automobile Solutions Private Limited, a.k.a TASPL,is part of the TVS group and is a leader in India’s automotive after-market with the purpose of transforming this entire automotive industry.

Our buses were always on time. And our cars
came for free, with chauffeurs.

Our story began in 1911 when Shri. T V Sundram Iyengar (TVS) ventured into bus operations in Tamil Nadu, India, setting benchmarks that still stand the test of time. On-time bus operations, price printed ticketing system, Asia’s largest service infrastructure for high-quality maintenance of buses, and training infrastructure for drivers, were all introduced by TVS. In 1929, we took an expansive step by representing General Motors in India, along with selling, servicing and providing spare parts for Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac and the Cadillac. We engineered the precursor to the entire pre-sales experience today, by providing local elites the experience of a chauffeur driven car for a week, for free.

Since then, we have gone from strength to strength, selling commercial vehicles and partnering passenger car manufacturers, making us one of the top 50 automotive dealers selling over 60,000 new vehicles every year.We have evolved into a one-stop-shop providing sales to service to parts to insurance, thereby becoming an automotive after-market leader in the last 60 years.

They always say, just a cog in the wheel. We are not that.

The advent of new brands, new vehicles, new technologies, new regulations, new ways of inventory and working capital management poses significant challenges for garages, retailers and parts distributors to compete and adapt in the auto industry.

Innovate and Disrupt- The two TVS ways of taking these challenges head-on and doing business.

TVS Automobile Solutions has invested over Rs. 250 crore over the last ten years and is playing a leadership role in transforming our automotive aftermarket. In addition to providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ service for all vehicle owners, we have also created a healthy,parts ecosystem for a parts retailer with TVS PartSmart, a modern garage network for a garage owner with MyTVS , complete solutions, from service to parts to insurance, for fleet owners with TVS Fleet, complete insurance solutions network with cashless tie-ups with all insurance providers with TVS Insurance, 24X7 roadside assistance over 20,00,000 kilometres of open road with TVS Auto Assist and access to over one lakh accessories and parts, in over 150 categories, with TVS Accessories. TASPL networks all of these with digital technology platforms including digital payments, providing complete transparency and increasing business efficiency. And with its Skill India initiative, TVS trains thousands of technicians and retailers, empowering the service industry to meet the country’s needs.

Every drive we have is about an
inclusive tomorrow for all.

Focus. Focus is the key word. We focus on both the customer and the provider thanks to our technology and foresight. Our objective-to create a win-win situation for everyone. So, from spares to ‘anytime, anywhere’ service (including @Home service) to assistance to insurance and more, we are always there for the customer.

And even providers have to be on their toes when it comes to delivering to customers. Consider fleet operators working tirelessly to provide transportation services with immense challenges in operations and logistics. This is where we come in. From minimum downtime to access to spares at all times to setting up service centers at their workplaces, we do it all to increase the providers’ efficiency.

Known way or the highway?
We believe in creating the e-way!

Before teaching someone how to fish,
we believe in making lakes teem with fish!

We nurse, nurture and show the way for people in our milieu. We have established a dedicated academy that services the needs of entrepreneurs, garages and retailers.

Our TVS Entrepreneurship Development Program helps the franchisees & fleet owners adopt modern management practices in improving their business profitability.

We are driving the tomorrows,
by empowering all.

Having strived so far, we are proud of the fact that we have created 10,000 touch points within the industry across retailers, garages and entrepreneurs. This makes us the largest aftermarket player in the country.

As our nation surges ahead of others, we at TASPL look forward to being a revolution in the evolution of the automobile industry. Today it is India. Tomorrow it will be the world.
