Hero Honda Motors Ltd. came into existence in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles and Honda Motor Company of Japan. Since then, over a span of two decades, Hero Honda Motors Limited has metamorphosed into one of the world's largest motorcycle companies.
Since its inception, Hero Honda has sold over 15 million motorcycles and has maintained a phenomenal growth rate over the years. The company carved a niche in the competitive Indian market for churning out motorcycles with high fuel efficiency and low maintenance.
What helped this JV achieve such great success is the optimal combination of Hero Group's deep domain knowledge of the Indian market and its supplier network with Honda's expertise over four-stroke engine technology to produce efficient bikes. The venerable Splendor motorcycle from the Hero Honda stable went on to become a cult machine for its low-maintenance costs and fuel efficiency and was once the largest selling motorcycle in the world.
Starting in 80s, Hero Honda introduced new generation motorcycles that set industry benchmarks for high fuel efficiency and low emission. Banking on its 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' campaign, Hero Honda has sold millions of bikes purely on the commitment of high mileage.
The sales and service network of Hero Honda now spans over 3000 points. The service network comprises of a mix of dealerships, service and spare points, spare parts stockists and authorized representatives of dealers located across different parts.
In line with its ambitious expansion plans, Hero Honda has built world-class manufacturing facilities at Dharuhera, Gurgaon and Haridwar (Uttarakhand) that now churn out over 3 million bikes every year. Though competition in the Indian two wheeler market has intensified over the years yet Hero Honda has managed to keep its sales chart moving northwards.
