Hero MotoCorp has become the first two-wheeler manufacturer in the country, to receive the BS-VI certification for a two-wheeler. The company received the Type Approval Certificate from International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) for the Splendor iSmart motorcycle, after it was successfully tested for compliance to the BS-VI emission norms.
