Hero MotoCorp Ltd. and Gogoro have partnered to “accelerate the shift to sustainable electric mobility in India,” the companies say.
The companies will establish a battery-swapping joint venture to bring Gogoro’s battery-swapping platform to India, and will collaborate on electric-vehicle development to bring Hero-branded, powered by Gogoro Network vehicles to market.
The Gogoro Network is a battery-swapping platform with more than 375,000 riders and 2,000 battery-swapping stations. The company says the Powered by Gogoro Network Program gives Gogoro’s vehicle-maker partners access to Gogoro innovations and intellectual property including its intelligent drivetrains and controllers, components and smart systems, so they can develop electric vehicles that integrate Gogoro Network battery swapping.
