CNBC TV18
Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has officially entered the United Kingdom through a partnership with Lancashire-based distributor MotoGB. The move marks the company’s 51st international market and reinforces its growing European footprint following recent expansions into Italy and Spain.
As part of the UK debut, Hero MotoCorp will introduce its advanced Euro 5+ range of motorcycles, spearheaded by the Hunk 440 — a model aimed at riders seeking performance, style and reliability in an accessible package.
Sanjay Bhan, Executive Vice President at Hero MotoCorp, described the UK entry as “a defining milestone” in the company’s global expansion. He said the partnership with MotoGB reflects Hero’s understanding of UK riders and its ambition to make premium motorcycles accessible to both first-time buyers and enthusiasts.
MotoGB will initially offer Hero’s motorcycles through over 25 official sales and service outlets across the UK, with plans to expand the network to more than 35 locations by 2026. The distributor will also build a network of authorised dealers and technical service centres to support customers nationwide.
Matt Kay, General Manager at MotoGB, said the collaboration would deliver “a unique combination of technology and value” for UK riders, backed by a strong focus on customer experience and after-sales service.
Ahead of the announcement, shares of Hero MotoCorp closed 1.11% lower at ₹5,584 on the NSE.
