Hero MotoCorp, one of India's biggest two-wheeler manufacturers, will finally enter the electric mobility industry in 2022. On October 7, 2022, the company's new EV subsidiary, Vida, will introduce the world's first electric scooter in India. Hero MotoCorp first planned to introduce its e-scooter in March 2022, but supply chain concerns forced the company to push the date further back.
In Rajasthan's Jaipur, Hero MotoCorp will introduce the Vida electric scooter at the Hero Global Center of Innovation and Technology (CIT). The company has announced this corporate event with the slogan, "A new era in mobility is about to begin, VIDA - Powered by Hero," to the Bombay Stock Exchange. Although we don't yet know much about this electric scooter, it is anticipated to be a mass-market item and will probably compete with the enormously popular Ola S1 and Ather 450X electric scooters.
