"Setting up of the Hero Tech Center Germany is a realisation of our aspiration to build an R&D ecosystem that is spread across global geographies," Hero MotoCorp chairman Pawan Munjal, said.

He added that the center in Germany will be a source of modern technologies with a focus on the global customer base, thereby further strengthening R&D capabilities.

"The tech center will also enable us to easily tap into the huge pool of resources readily available across Europe and merge them with our ongoing operations at the CIT," he added.

To begin with, the company said the new center would be under the direct supervision of Markus Braunsperger, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Hero MotoCorp.

It will focus on development of new vehicle concepts and future technologies in close cooperation with the teams at CIT in Jaipur.

"It will also be the epicenter for Hero's motorsport team - the Hero MotoSports Team Rally that has put India on the global map of motorsports in a short span of time - and will facilitate all rally participation activities, including new product development for the Team," it added.
