The two-wheeler maker says that Hero Connect will enhance “riding experience of the customers”. This cloud-based application offers multiple security and safety features such as live tracking, topple alerts, tow away alert, geo fence alert, speed alert and more. It also provides driving insights based on the rider’s behavioural patterns by accessing a detailed log of the trip and reports.
Hero’s new connectivity solution has Telematics Hardware with a built-in SIM fitted in the vehicle. Using the cellular network, the application provides a gateway for communication between the application and device. While the cloud will store the data, the App will receive the information from the cloud and display it on the mobile. Read – Hero Duet e-Scooter (Chetak Rival) Coming To India?
