Hero MotoCorp

Hero MotoCorp Limited, known until 2011 as Hero Honda (as part of a joint venture with Honda of Japan), is an Indian motorcycle and scooter manufacturer, and the largest manufacturer of two-wheelers in the world. It is a sister company to Hero Cycles, and both companies are owned by the Delhi-based Hero Group, run by the Munjal family.

Other multinational Indian two-wheeler manufacturers include Bajaj Auto, Mahindra Two Wheelers and TVS Motor Company.

2011–present


The Munjal group ended its joint venture with Honda Motorcycles in 2011 and, on 29 July 2011, the name of the company was changed from Hero Honda Motors Limited to Hero MotoCorp Limited.

A new logo and brand identity was developed by Wolff Olins and revealed on 9 August 2011 at the Lord's Stadium, London, during a test cricket match between India and England. This signalled a new era for the company, as its parting ways with Honda coincided with its foray into international markets.
