New Delhi: A hybrid
concept scooter that will run on both battery and petrol was
launched here at the Auto Expo Thursday by Hero Motocorp Limited.
'Leap' is the first step taken by the company towards developing
hybrid technology to bring environmentally friendly two-wheelers
in the country.
According to Pawan Munjal, managing director and chief executive
officer of Hero, the concept scooter is a testimony to the
company's ability to bring technologically superior products in
keeping with international standards.
"Leap is indeed a leap in terms of advanced technology not just
for us but also for the Indian two-wheeler industry," he added.
Hero has already applied for three international technology
patents and nine international design registrations.
"Although this currently is at a concept stage, we intend to take
it forward to be able to produce it commercially in the near
future," said Munjal, adding that the product was made in-house by
a select team of Hero people with a few international consultants.
According to the company, 'Leap' would appeal to aesthetically
inclined youngsters and young adults.
Talking about the future, Munjal said that Hero was fast
strengthening its research and development set up at its Gurgaon
and Dharuhera plants in Haryana since the past several months by
investing.
The 11th edition of the Auto Expo, held at the sprawling Pragati
Maidan exposition grounds, will conclude Jan 11.
