Harley Davidson’s livewire brand
Approximately a week ago, Harley Davidson announced Livewire as an all-electric vehicle brand. On May 10th, 2021 Harley Davidson mentions its ambitious plans of taking this electric vehicle to next level. Previously, automotive brands like Bajaj also done the same with electric Chetak and Volvo with their Polestar unit. With this specific brand identity, automakers have a specific focus on their brands and fresh brand image is an added advantage. This is due to the increase in competition of EV space and existing automaker’s attempts to compete. Now let’s get into Harley Davidson’s livewire brand.

With the mission to be the most desirable electric motorcycle brand in the world, LiveWire will pioneer the future of motorcycling, for the pursuit of urban adventure and beyond. LiveWire also plans to innovate and develop technology that will be applicable to Harley-Davidson electric motorcycles in the future.”
