India's Hero MotoCorp has launched its EV brand, Vida, in Colombia. The electric scooter is introduced with the aim of transforming urban mobility in the country, marking the expansion of Hero's Vida electric lineup into the Latin American market.
Electric two-wheelers and urban policy can't be separated. In Europe, regulation has pushed adoption forward, but in Latin America the market moves manufacturer-led. An emerging giant like Hero creating the entry point — that difference in structure is fascinating. It's a story of the world not electrifying uniformly.

So Vida is Hero's dedicated electric sub-brand?
Adoption speed for electric scooters seems set to change a lot depending on price competitiveness.
There's still a concern that charging infrastructure hasn't caught up yet in emerging markets though.
The Vida series, proven in India, coming straight to South America carries real reassurance.
'Aiming to transform urban mobility' is becoming a marketing phrase common to every country.
Hero rolling out the Vida brand into Latin America too really shows the reach of a global strategy.
Details on Colombian pricing or range aren't out yet, so that's what I'm curious about.
