Hero Electric Promotes Electric Vehicles And Tempts Petrol Two-Wheeler Owners With Exclusive Discounts

Two wheelers have been on the forefront of India¡¯s electric vehicle (EV) revolution. However, there are still crores of petrol guzzling ones hitting the roads every single year, as per two-wheeler maker Hero¡¯s estimate.

Now Hero aims to change that with its electric scooter offering. For the same, the company has announced a programme to push existing owners of petrol-powered two-wheelers to switch to electric ones.

As per the programme, the firm is offering a ¡°flat Rs 6,000 over and above the market value¡± of such petrol-based two-wheelers. The move comes as a chance for the owners to switch to the company¡¯s electric scooter line-up, essentially letting the users cut down on the operational cost and gain a better performance on two-wheels.

On top of this, the new E-scooters from Hero come with a 3 years warranty on the scooter as well as its battery. Those interested can get these E-scooters between the range of Rs 46,000 and Rs 87,000 post the deduction of subsidies from the government. Currently, Hero Electric has four offerings in its electric scooter line-up.

As of now, the campaign from Hero Electric has been launched across 20 cities in the country, including Delhi, Lucknow, Jaipur and Chennai. The campaign aims at encouraging the use of EVs in India, which can potentially help lower the rising air pollution levels in various cities of India. In contrast, Hero says that the scooters and motorcycles running on petrol have much higher pollution emissions than Bharat Stage-IV bikes and consume twice the petrol for the same distance.
