The award was presented by Vice President and Hero MotoCorp Ltd. Head of Global Business, Deepak Mokashi to Abans Group Chairperson Aban Pestonjee at a private ceremony at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo recently, in the presence of Abans Group Director Behman Pestonjee.
Hero MotoCorp Ltd. started its operations in Sri Lanka by appointing Abans as their sole agent in September 2012, with the full responsibility of promoting and marketing their range of two-wheelers through their network of showrooms and dealers island-wide.
Abans, one of the fastest growing and most diverse companies in Sri Lanka, readily accepted the challenge and within the short period of two years has made Hero a leading motorcycle brand in the country.
Abans initiated an exclusive showroom channel and dealer network for Hero motorbikes in Sri Lanka, allowing Hero products to grow independently from their existing home appliances business.
Realising the importance of after-sales service, Abans started an exclusive after-sales network of Hero two-wheelers with an emphasis on the 3S concept of sales, service and spare parts under one roof, providing a complete solution to their valuable customers.
Presently there are 250 sales outlets, 275 service stations and over 300 dealers stocking ample spare parts island-wide. Continuous value additions at service stations guarantee the best after-sales service to customers.
Hero motorbikes have gained in popularity as they are ideally suited for Sri Lankan roads and terrain and are available in a range from 100cc to 225cc to meet every requirement. Hero Dawn is the entry level 100 model which comes with a self start feature and meets the basic needs of transportation at a very affordable price. It is preferred by most corporate sector organisations as it is highly economical and durable. Presently, Domino’s Pizza and McDonald’s delivery services are riding high on Hero Dawn motorbikes.
Hero I Smart is another high-tech product introduced to the Sri Lankan market recently. Its unique i3S technology is gaining popularity for its fuel-saving capability and durability. Hero Pleasure is the current bestselling scooter in Sri Lanka. This 100cc scooter comes with attractive features like tubeless tires, a mobile phone charging facility, an integrated braking system, side stand indicator for riders safety, under-seat booth light and much more.
Hero MotoCorp currently sells its range of motorbikes and scooters in 20 countries spread across Asia, Africa and South and Central America and is set to enter the European market in 2015 and US and Brazil by 2016 with a target of 50 countries by 2020.
