The largest motorbike manufacturer in the world, Hero MotoCorp, and Zero Motorcycles, a luxury electric motorcycle and powertrain company based in California, revealed their intention to work together a few months previously. The essential contracts have been negotiated, concentrating on new premium electric motorcycles. Without a question, this partnership is crucial to the continued success of Hero MotoCorp’s electric mobility initiatives. Both businesses want to revolutionise the EV driving experience and hasten the shift to electric transportation in India and other international markets.
Hero MotoCorp’s brand expansion is progressively pointing to new market sectors. This is a significant shift from its standing as a reliable mass market motorbike manufacturer. The 421cc engine being considered for its Xpulse 420cc product lineup is a sign of development advancement.
