‘Our partnership with Zero Motorcycles is a significant milestone in our journey towards ushering in an era of sustainable clean technology in the mobility space. With Zero as our partner, we look forward to accelerating the transition of electric mobility in India and across our global markets.’ said Dr Pawan Munjal, Chairman and CEO of Hero MotoCorp.
