Hero MotoCorp Launches Virtual Dealerships, Steps Up COVID-19 Relief Initiatives

The world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer is really carrying its weight and helping the nation fight the pandemic

‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going’, says the old adage. With India hard at work fighting the second wave of COVID-19, our very own Hero MotoCorp has come to the fore to help out. Under its CSR platform, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer is not only providing motorcycles and scooters to health workers in five states, but also donating oxygen cylinders and PPE kits to various governments and hospitals across the nation.

Besides, Hero has partnered with Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama in Haridwar to boost the capacity of rapid-response teams and other emergency medical facilities. On a more universal level, the brand has rolled out virtual showrooms online. With buyers unable to physically visit dealerships in the current scenario, the virtual showrooms aim to provide customers an ‘immersive digital buying experience’. Full details are available in the two press releases below:
