Hero Honda Motors Limited is the World's single largest two-wheeler motorcycle company
Home : Bikes in India : Hero Honda Motors Ltd.
Hero Honda Motors Ltd. came into existence
in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles and
Honda Motor Company of Japan. Since then, over a span
of two decades, Hero Honda Motors Limited has metamorphosed
into the world's largest motorcycle company.
Since its inception, Hero Honda has sold over 15 million
motorcycles and has maintained a phenomenal growth
rate over the years. The company carved a niche in
the competitive Indian market for churning out motorcycles
with high fuel efficiency and low maintenance.
What helped this JV achieve such great success is
the optimal combination of Hero Group's deep domain
knowledge of the Indian market and its supplier network
with Honda's expertise over four-stroke engine technology
to produce efficient bikes. The venerable Splendor
motorcycle from the Hero Honda stable went on to become
a cult machine for its low-maintenance costs and fuel
efficiency.
In line with its ambitious expansion plans, Hero Honda
has built two world-class manufacturing facilities
at Dharuhera and Gurgaon in Haryana that now churn
out over 3 million bikes per year.
