Hero MotoCorp Expansion into UK: Hero MotoCorp has announced its official entry into the UK market through a partnership with a Lancashire-based distributor, MotoGB, expanding its presence to 51 countries. The latest expansion follows Hero MotoCorsp's earlier forays into Italy and Spain, where the brand entered with three flagship models – the Hunk 440, the Xpulse 200 4V, and the Xpulse 200 4V Pro. With the UK entry, the brand aims to strengthen its European footprint by launching its Euro 5+ model line-up led by Hunk 440.
With the latest expansion, Delhi-based Hero MotoCorp now has operations in 51 global markets across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, with a customer base exceeding 125 million. Under the partnership, MotoGB will distribute Hero's products initially through 25 sales and service outlets in the UK, with plans to expand to over 35 locations by 2026. The partnership will also include setting up technical service centres across major cities, thereby offering after-sales support.
