Yamaha i Hero Motors sarađuju kako bi ušli na tržište pogona na kotače

Prema izvještajima stranih medija, Yamaha i Hero Motors će uložiti 2,5 miliona eura (2,9 miliona američkih dolara) u osnivanje zajedničkog preduzeća za proizvodnju pogona na točkove za električne bicikle. Saradnja će formalno biti uspostavljena krajem novembra, a Hero će imati 90 posto akcija.

Hero Motors owns Hero Cycles, India's largest bicycle manufacturer. The unnamed company will be located in the Ludhiana district of Punjab, India.

According to Yamaha's announcement, wheel hub drives account for about half of the European electric bicycle market. The company said that as demand for these drive units is expected to increase, Yamaha seeks to reach an agreement with Hero to expand its product portfolio beyond mid-drive motors. Yamaha currently offers proprietary central-mounted drive units.
