Hero has decided it was time to implement a super global strategy, aiming to boost its sales outside of its home territory. Outside of India, the company is present in South America, specifically in Colombia, where the Indian brand has been selling its motorcycles for some time.
Additionally, a very important point emphasized by the Indian manufacturer is to establish a kind of new sales network, with Mexico being chosen to take this new step.
