One of the World’s largest motorcycle manufacturer Hero Moto Corp has announced that they’ll be entering the electric two-wheeler market. After the slowly growing electric vehicle market, now Hero Moto Corp has decided to step into this market. Meaning, Hero will be introducing electric two-wheeled in the domestic market in 2021.
How is Hero Planning to go by?
To begin with, Hero earlier announced a tie-up with a Taiwan based EV manufacturer Gogoro.
- Both the companies may also collaborate in the vehicle development that will aid in bringing Hero branded two-wheelers to the market.
- With that, Hero Moto Corp will be using their research and development centres in Jaipur and also in Stephanskirchen (Germany).
- A company official also stated that both these R&D facilities are already working on developing electric vehicles. Well, these two-wheelers will be based on fixed charging systems.
- On the other hand, working with Gogoro, the development is focused on the swap-based charging systems.
As of now, Hero is not in the electric two-wheeler segment directly. For you to know, Hero has already invested in the Bangalore based two-wheeler start-up Ather Energy.
Hero Moto Corp and The Roll Out plan
The company claims that the introduction of electric two-wheelers will be next year. So, we’ll be having the big giant stepping into the electric market.
- The company official also added that Hero is still working on adding more premium motorcycles to their portfolio.
- Additionally, the new launches will not be delayed because of the global pandemic. Hence, the plan for launching their respective motorcycle is intact.
- Well, after the collaboration of Hero and Harley Davidson we definitely have our expectations high when considering the premium motorcycles from Hero.
