Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, and Zero Motorcycles, the California-based manufacturer of premium electric motorcycles and powertrains, have signed agreements to collaborate on premium electric motorcycles.

The collaboration combines the expertise of Zero in developing power trains and electric motorcycles with the scale of manufacturing, sourcing and marketing of Hero MotoCorp.

In September 2022, the Board of Hero MotoCorp approved an equity investment of up to $60 million in Zero Motorcycles.

“Our partnership with Zero Motorcycles is a significant milestone in our journey toward ushering in an era of sustainable clean technology in the mobility space,” said Pawan Munjal, chairman & CEO, Hero MotoCorp. “With Zero as our partner, we look forward to accelerate the transition of electric mobility in India and across our global markets.”
