HERO TECH CENTRE GERMANY (TCG)

Established in 2019, the Hero Tech Center in Germany, also known as “TCG”, is the Research and Development hub of Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters. The state-of-the-art facility works on two key areas – the development of advanced mobility solutions and the production vehicles for Indian and global markets.

Located between Munich, Salzburg, and Innsbruck, with stunning views of the Alps, the origins of the TCG dates back to 2016, with the formation of the Hero MotoSports Rally Team and a partnership with Speedbrain GmbH. The hub for all our international race operations, the TCG works in close collaboration with Hero MotoCorp's world-class R&D center in India, the Center for Innovation & Technology (CIT) in Jaipur – the home of Hero MotoSports.

A key milestone in TCG's journey was the introduction of Hero XPulse at EICMA 2018 - the first motorcycle developed by TCG's current team. The meteoric popularity of this 200cc platform led to the introduction of further variants, including an off-road rally version that is being used by Hero MotoSports' National Rally Team in the Indian National Rally and Supercross Championships, bringing several trophies home in just 4 years.

The Hero TCG is also the force behind designing our world championship-winning Hero MotoSports' 450 Rally motorcycle in partnership with our International Rally pilots for extensive testing and feedback of the bikes and newly developed parts.

In 8 years since its inception, TCG has grown steadily, expanding its facilities in 2021 to include a dedicated electric vehicle team and prototyping spaces. In 2022, an Advanced Styling department was established, featuring a clay model machine for innovative design development.

Today, the team at TCG consists of diverse professionals of 12 nationalities and multiple specialisations - mechanical engineers, designers, battery cell experts, and many more. They are at the forefront of pioneering innovations bringing fresh concepts to life and driving the future of sustainable mobility.
