Bajaj Auto, led by Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj, is all set to introduce a groundbreaking innovation in the world of motorcycles. Amidst soaring petrol prices, the company is gearing up to launch the world’s first CNG-powered motorcycle on June 18, 2024. This move aims to provide consumers with a cost-effective alternative for daily commuting, promising lower running costs compared to traditional petrol-powered bikes.
The prototype of Bajaj’s CNG motorcycle, which has been spotted multiple times during testing, resembles a typical commuter bike. It features halogen turn indicators, telescopic forks, and a monoshock unit for suspension.
Observers have noted the presence of multi-spoke alloy wheels, a long single-piece seat, and a combination of disc and drum braking system, indicating a focus on comfort and practicality.
The upcoming CNG bike appears to target the budget commuter segment, aligning with Bajaj’s strategy of catering to the mass market.
Bajaj has filed trademark applications for potential names such as Glider, Marathon, Trekker, and Freedom, providing insights into the branding direction for this innovative motorcycle.
While specifics regarding the engine remain undisclosed, Bajaj may either modify an existing petrol engine for CNG use or develop an entirely new CNG engine, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
The introduction of the world’s first CNG-powered motorcycle by Bajaj Auto could mark a significant milestone in the automotive industry, offering consumers an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for urban commuting. This move not only aligns with the global shift towards sustainable transportation but also reflects Bajaj’s commitment to innovation and addressing market demands.
