Hero MotoCorp Won’t Discontinue Any of its Products

There were rumors around that Hero MotoCorp is planning to phase out some of its product soon but the giant recently announced that it is not going to discontinue any product from its portfolio. There were speculations that Hero is trying to discontinue some of its low selling products that are sharing Honda’s technology namely Hero Ignitor, Impulse and Maestro.  Now, the company has made it clear that all the current products will continue to exist and Hero MotoCorp has added that it is working very hard to produce more and more new products. With so much volume to cater to, its latest products – the Impulse and the Maestro are taking the beating. According the company officials, Hero MotoCorp is currently making efforts to expand its production capacity to meet the demand for the Impulse and the Maestro.

The company will also upgrade all its products to meet the new emissions norms that will be implemented from 2015. For this, they need to re-tune the engines and Hero, which is dependent on Honda for technical support till 2014, will have to carry out this time by the in-house R&D people. Hero is also expanding its R&D capability with fresh recruitment and tie-ups with global firms. Till date, it has announced its tie-ups with US based Eric Bruell Racing, AVL, Austria and Engines Engineering, Italy which was previously owned by Mahindra 2 Wheelers.
