Zero Motorcycles has long been recognized as the pioneer in electric motorcycle production. Since 2006, the company has focused solely on the development and production of electric two-wheelers, years before the current trend of greenwashed electric vehicles. Today, Zero Motorcycles is expanding operations globally to accelerate the adoption of electric motorcycles.

Recent partnerships with Indian motorbike label Hero MotoCorp and Philippine-based company Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc. (IMI) are testament to Zero Motorcycles’ commitment to expanding its global reach. IMI is a subsidiary of Ayala Corporation and is considered an industry leader in motorcycle manufacturing in the Philippines, responsible for producing and exporting a significant percentage of KTM and Husqvarna’s small to mid-displacement models.
Zero Motorcycles’ partnership with IMI will not only be a first for the Philippine motorcycle industry but also marks an exciting time for IMI. The company’s CEO, Arthur R. Tan, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the commitment to growth and sustainability while providing high-quality manufacturing services. IMI will handle the assembly of certain Zero Motorcycles models and components at its manufacturing facility in Laguna, a region known for its industrial zones and factories, in close coordination with Zero’s own manufacturing plant in Scotts Valley, California.
