Hero MotoCorp is set to launch India's first motorcycle capable of running entirely on ethanol fuel on June 3. This pioneering move marks a significant advancement in the country's push for cleaner and alternative fuel-based transportation. While the specific model name remains undisclosed, regulatory approval has already been secured for flex-fuel versions of its popular HF Deluxe and Splendor motorcycles.
Unlike existing flex-fuel motorcycles in India that operate on E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol), Hero's upcoming motorcycle will be engineered to run on E100, or pure ethanol. The technology for this innovative motorcycle was developed at the company's Centre for Innovation and Technology in Jaipur, highlighting Hero MotoCorp's commitment to supporting the government's initiatives for faster adoption of flex-fuel vehicles and diversifying India's clean mobility transition beyond solely electric vehicles.
