NEW DELHI: Pawan Munjal-led Hero MotoCorp has started churning out new models and concepts close to three years after the split from Honda. The company, country's largest two-wheeler maker, unveiled a 150cc hybrid diesel concept two-wheeler and four other models, including a hybrid scooter and an all-new 250cc bike.

Barring the 150cc diesel model 'RNT', the company plans to launch all other four models in the next financial year, Hero Motocorp MD Pawan Munjal said. "RNT is a concept. We will further develop it before it becomes a production model."

RNT, Leap (hybrid scooter) and 250 cc bike HXR250R are completely new products, while Dash (110cc scooter) and Xtreme Sports (150cc bike) models are based on existing platforms, Munjal added. "We plan to launch 150cc Xtreme Sports bike in the first quarter, 110cc scooter Dash in the second quarter and Leap and 250cc s ports bike in the second half of the next fiscal," he said.

When asked about the time-frame for the launch of the RNT two-wheeler, which sports a 150-cc diesel engine, Munjal said, "It's a concept and we will have to do much research before we bring it to the commercial arena." Terming the product unique, Munjal said the company "will take time" and has not put a date for the launch of the vehicle.

"As we go ahead, we would like to add accessories, variants to the model...it will have usage in various countries besides India due to the kind of features it has," he said.
