Hero MotoCorp To Soon Enter The Electric Segment
With the growing trend for electric vehicles in the market, Hero MotoCorp will soon have its representative in this segment. The company has already teased its offering. Though we do not have details of the product, we can anticipate a few points, of which one key aspect is the powertrain. As Ather and Hero MotoCorp are in a partnership, this suggests that Hero MotoCorp might borrow the powertrain from Ather. There are official dates as of yet for the launch. But, the chances are that we might see the Hero MotoCorp EV two-wheeler before the end of this year.
