Business Overview
As the world largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters for 25 consecutive years, Hero MotoCorp operates eight manufacturing facilities across India, Colombia, and Bangladesh. The company maintains a global footprint in 52 countries with a customer base exceeding 130 million. Beyond its internal VIDA brand, the firm has made strategic investments in EV players like Ather Energy and Euler Motors.
Hero MotoCorp also partners with Harley-Davidson and Zero Motorcycles for premium vehicle development, maintaining a strong R&D presence through centers in India and Germany.
Industry Context
The Indian electric two-wheeler market is increasingly shifting toward high-range variants as charging infrastructure matures. Manufacturers are prioritizing battery capacity and fast-charging capabilities to compete directly with internal combustion engine vehicles. Hero MotoCorp’s launch addresses the critical requirement for longer uninterrupted journeys, which remains a primary barrier to mass EV adoption.
The inclusion of an industry-first 1kW portable charger directly supports this transition by offering consumers more versatile charging options outside of public networks.
