India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp Ltd., based in Delhi, will collaborate with Scotts Valley CA-based Zero Motorcycles Inc., to co-manufacture premium electric motorbikes. “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,” the company said in a press release.
The partnership comes a few months after Hero MotoCorp approved an equity investment of up to $60 million in Zero Motorcycles, which also creates a line of electric powered motorcycles.
Hero is already in the electric mobility space, through its brand Vida, which currently makes only electric scooters.
