New Delhi, August 16, 2021.
Hero MotoCorp – the
world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters – sold a record more than one lakh units of motorcycles and
scooters in retail sales in a single day on August 9th,
coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Company.
This
retail sale - that included the sales in the domestic market of India and
global markets around the world – is a record number of actual sales to
customers in a non-festive period.
Naveen Chauhan, Head of
Sales & After-Sales, Hero MotoCorp said, “This kind of retail sales on a single
day in a non-festive period is unprecedented. The completion of 10 years of our
journey on August 9this a significant milestone at Hero MotoCorp. Our
customers have reiterated their faith and trust on us by celebrating the ‘Hero
Day’ of August 9th, purchasing our range of products in massive
numbers, enabling us to set this record of retail sales on a single day.”
The
record number was achieved due to the retail demand for Hero MotoCorp range of
products across segments – entry, deluxe and premium, including scooters – and
in markets across geographies.
Hero
MotoCorp doubled its daily average sales of scooters on the Hero Day of August
9th with immense demand for the range of scooters – including the
newly launched Maestro Edge 125, Destini & Pleasure 110.
In
addition to the existing range, the recently launched Glamour XTEC, the new
Splendor in Matte Shield Gold color, and the Xtreme 160R also contributed in
robust numbers to the overall volume of more than one lakh retail sales on
August 9th.
After
the separation from its erstwhile joint venture partner, Hero MotoCorp unveiled
its new brand identity at the iconic O2 Arena in London on August 9th
2011. The August 9th this year, therefore, marked the 10th
anniversary of the Company.
