The i3s technology is the system developed by Hero Motor Corp to increase the mileage. This doesn’t mean that this technology helps to achieve more mileage than claimed mileage. The Hero i3s technology helps to increase the real-world condition mileage. So how it is achieved? well, it’s a very basic idea. Imagine the scenario in which you are at the traffic signal. Now at a signal, you are on an average for two minutes. Within these two minutes, your bike is just idling at low rpm’s. We all know that at the idle, bike consumes more fuel. So what this i3s system does is it simply switches off the engine in about 5 seconds of halt. After that, when you want to start the bike, you won’t need to press the start button, you have to just press the clutch and the bike is on the go. So in these two minutes, you have saved a slight amount of fuel which simultaneously increases the overall mileage. This system is like the Start-stop system that you get on your cars.

To achieve this system Hero have used multiple electronic pieces of equipment such as the timer, various sensors, etc. However, we will not go into detail about it. Currently, many other manufacturers are also trying to implement similar technology on their motorcycles. The latest Honda Activa 125 also comes with a similar type of system. In coming years we might see this technology on most of the bikes. Currently, this system is seen on Hero’s Splendor Plus, HF Deluxe, Passion Pro, Glamour 125, Maestro Edge 125 and other commuter segment motorcycle.

Hero Motor Corp has been continuously implementing different technology. Hero’s APDV was also one of Hero’s technology to have a better fuel economy. The APDV stands for ‘Advanced Pro Series Digital Variable Ignition System’. Basically, the system ignites the spark plug with the digitally controlled system. Hero was also the first manufacturers to launch the fuel-injected scooter in India. The Maestro Edge 125 was the first scooter that was BS6 ready for more than a year before. It seems that Hero is quite aggressive while developing new technology and which is quite a nice thing. However, sometimes some technologies failed quite miserably but we should appreciate the manufacturers for at least trying something new.
