The company announced the launch on July 16, 2026, strengthening its footprint in Europe and taking its international presence to 53 countries.

With Germany becoming its fifth European market, Hero MotoCorp is targeting one of the world’s most mature and competitive two-wheeler markets as part of its long-term international growth plan.
