Ship shape: a new concept for greener, cleaner oil tankers | In-depth | The Engineer

Big change in a household name...

I was really surprised when I came to know about the parting of ways by the Honda and the Hero group. It started out as a humble merger of the Hero and the Honda group around 25 years back, producing bikes which were otherwise phenomenal in changing the face of two wheeler market in India. It was THE company, Hero Honda, which dared to stand in Bajaj's way in two wheeler competition. It has produced best selling bikes - CD 100 and Splendor. All was good till Thursday 16th December 2010. Another big change in Indian automobile history after scrapping of Bajaj scooter and Maruti 800.
