Bajaj CNG bike will be launched this Friday. This is Bajaj’s first CNG bike and has been named ‘Freedom 125’. The special thing about this much-awaited launch event is that Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari will also attend its launch, which shows the importance of this innovation in the automotive industry.
Innovative Features and Affordable Pricing
Bajaj’s CNG bike ‘Freedom 125’ is expected to be a game-changer in the 125cc segment, with two flexible fuel options that allow riders to switch between petrol and CNG. This dual-fuel capability is designed to meet the growing demand for more sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions. Bajaj Auto’s focus on affordability ensures that this innovative bike will attract the attention of value-conscious consumers, making eco-friendly commuting more accessible.
Strategic Market Launch and Export Plans
Let us tell you that Bajaj Auto plans to introduce the ‘Freedom 125’ initially in the Maharashtra market, with a wider rollout expected in the April-June quarter of FY 2024-25. Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of the company, highlighted that the CNG bike will not only serve the Indian market but will also be exported to countries like Bangladesh and Egypt. This strategic move aims to leverage Bajaj Auto’s existing expertise and success with CNG technology in its three-wheeler segment, where it holds a 30% market share and 60% of its three-wheelers run on CNG.
The Journey Towards CNG Two-Wheelers
The concept of CNG-powered two-wheelers is not entirely new. It was in 2016, that a pilot project in Delhi also tested a CNG-powered Honda Activa model. However, these attempts faced challenges, mainly due to performance issues and complexities of integrating the CNG tank in two-wheelers, resulting in higher maintenance costs. Despite these setbacks, Bajaj Auto’s proven success with CNG in its three-wheelers has paved the way for this innovative leap in the two-wheeler market.
The launch of ‘Freedom 125’ by Bajaj Auto marks an important milestone in the development of sustainable transportation. As the world’s first CNG bike, it promises to offer a practical and affordable solution for environmentally conscious riders. Also, with the support of the Government of India and a strategic market approach, ‘Freedom 125’ is set to make a big impact domestically and internationally.
