Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has introduced ‘Hero Connect’, a cloud-based solution bringing smart riding experience for customers.
Hero Connect, the new-age app for the new era of connected mobility, will be offered across segments with initial readiness in four models, including XPulse 200, Pleasure+, Passion XPRO and HF Deluxe.
Offering security and safety through features like Live Tracking, Topple Alerts, Tow Away Alert, Geo Fence Alert, Speed Alert, etc; Hero Connect ensures safety when on the move or while parked. Driving insights based on the riders’ behavioural patterns is another core feature of this technology, thus helping in accessing logs and trip analysis for an enhanced and safe riding experience.
Launched at an introductory price of Rs 4,999/-, Hero Connect is available at select dealerships in Noida, Delhi and Pune, with a one-year subscription. The technology will be made available across more models and expanded to other cities in a phased manner.
Malo Le Masson, Head of Global Product Planning, Hero MotoCorp, said, “Following the XPulse 200, the first motorcycle to offer connectivity through mobile phone to riders, Hero Connect offers the next level of connectivity. With this new cloud-enabled service we aim to enhance the riding experience of our customers, at the same time making their overall experience safer and smarter.”
Hero Connect uses the Telematics Hardware with a built-in SIM that is securely fitted in the Vehicle. It uses the cellular network to provide a gateway for communication between the application and device. While the cloud will store the data, the App will receive the information from the cloud and display it on the mobile.
