2W CNG Integration: Go Big, or Go Home
Bajaj Auto’s commitment to innovation is evident in the Freedom 125’s design and features. The company aims to set new standards in the motorcycle industry by offering advanced technology at an affordable price. This approach not only benefits consumers but also positions Bajaj as a leader in sustainable mobility solutions. On the alternate mobility front, the company sells Bajaj Chetak. A field that is being increasingly occupied by new age manufacturers.
Bajaj Freedom 125 addresses the pressing need for cost effective commuter bikes. By integrating CNG, Bajaj provides a viable alternative to petrol motorcycles, reducing emissions and operating costs. This move aligns with global trends toward sustainability and environmental responsibility. Bajaj Freedom 125 sales projections are set at 10k units in the early months. Numbers are expected to increase to 40k units pm by fiscal end.
Bajaj Freedom 125: Setting New Standards
While nothing has been said about the ideal buyer group, the bike could also be an attractive proposition to fleets. It’s convenient, cost effective, and quick to fill CNG. A long seat to carry large delivery loads, and a steady ride in city conditions. With CNG bunks on the rise, filling stations could very well be set up in the vicinity of delivery warehouses.
“The Bajaj Freedom 125 launch has generated almost unprecedented consumer interest in this innovation, which helps deliver significant operating cost savings as well as a greener ride as compared to traditional petrol bikes. We are working hard to ensure that we meet this demand by expanding distribution rapidly across our expansive dealer network. Booking is now open across the country”,” said Mr. Sarang Kanade, President Motorcycles, Bajaj Auto Ltd.
