      Bajaj Technik, Tecnica Trademarked – New Chetak Based Electric Scooters?

      by

      Bajaj has recently inaugurated a new Chetak manufacturing facility for future EV developments and productionImage for reference.Bajaj is currently the fourth-largest two-wheeler manufacturing company in India, in terms of sales figures. But when it comes to exports, Bajaj tops the charts as it is the largest two-wheeler exporter in India. When it comes to three-wheelers though, Bajaj is the largest manufacturer in the world.Even though Bajaj’s domestic sales are declining, the exports, however, are a whole different story. As seen in our Bajaj sales charts, Bajaj domestic sales stood at 1,25,083 units in June 2022 while it used to be 1,55,640 units in June 2021 registering a dip in sales of 19.63% YoY. While exports stood at 1,90,865 units in June 2022 over 1,54,938 units in June 2021 with 23.19% growth YoY.We mention this because Bajaj has recently registered three different nameplates in India. These new nameplates can be planned for India where sales are seeing negative growth, or for exports to boost their product sales globally in over 80 markets. Bajaj has also registered a lot of names before that it never used. We have Twinner, Pulsar Eleganz, Pulsar Elan and Blade.Bajaj Technik, Tecnica – New Names TrademarkedBajaj’s three new trademarks are Dynamo, Tecnica and Technik. We have covered more about Dynamo in a previous post explaining how it can be the name of a new electric scooter, ICE scooter, ICE motorcycle, electric motorcycle, or even a three-wheeled vehicle. We also covered the possibilities of it being the name of a powertrain too, that Bajaj might use with different genres of vehicles under its portfolio.New Bajaj Technik, Tecnica – Names of upcoming Electric Scooters based on Chetak?What comes to your mind when you hear the word Tecnica or Technik? Something tech-savvy? Something feature loaded? Or with a futuristic appeal? You’re absolutely bang on. If you look at Bajaj Auto, they have a lot on their plate right now. Being a mainstream manufacturer, Bajaj has to concentrate on both EVs and ICE vehicles alike. That’s the reason why Bajaj created the Chetak brand and dedicated a new facility for it in Akurdi.Bajaj also has plans on electrifying their ever-popular Pulsar brand. They also have plans on creating KTM and Husqvarna branded EVs. The names Dynamo, Tecnica and Technik can be correlated with something related to EVs. Right now, Bajaj has Chetak EV which doesn’t get any gizmos like Ather, Ola and Simple Energy offer.What can we expect?The name Tecnica and Technik can be a variant of Chetak offering a touchscreen dashboard with a digital key, cruise control, smartphone integration, navigation and more. Coming to the name Dynamo, it has to be related to an EV powertrain or at least a component. We have seen companies use creative names like Tesla, Faraday Future, Ampere, Emflux, Lectro, Pure EV, Revolt and more. Whenever you hear these names, an EV pops in your mind, doesn’t it?Dynamo means a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. We think Dynamo might be the name of a strong hybrid powertrain from Bajaj. Where an integrated motor is converting mechanical energy from an engine to charge a battery. It is not a crazy idea as passenger cars like Honda All New City, Toyota HyRyder and Maruti Grand Vitara all have strong hybrid powertrains.Indians are embracing EVs and hybrids now as the market is maturing and hybrid tech in two-wheelers makes sense too. Imagine a bike with 10-15 km of range on one charge for daily commutes and then the engine takes over for the highways and cruises. Not a crazy idea and Bajaj might be trying to stay ahead of the curve by offering this new tech first in India. More

      2022 Ather Electric Scooter Vs Old 450X – More Range, Stability, Features

      by

      2022 Ather 450X Gen 3 is identical to the Gen 2 in terms of looks as changes are limited to functionalitiesNew Ather 450X Electric Scooter Gen 3 vs Gen 2Ather Energy has delivered consistent performance and experience. 450X is the flagship electric scooter of this Bangalore based startup. Unlike other EV startups that have had a lot of failures, breakdowns, niggles and even fire hazards, Ather has little to none.Ather knows this too as they took a dig at other EV makers in a recent TVC. While the rest of the electric scooter market is chasing range or features, Ather is also proactively updating their electric scooter. In this regard, Ather 450X has been updated to Gen 3 and it will take Ather Energy’s ethos forward. We compare the two to understand all the updates 450X Gen 3 got over the preceding model.2022 Ather Electric Scooter Vs Old 450X – PowertrainWhen parked side by side, there is not a single thing that Ather has changed to create 450X Gen 3. Except for wider and better RVMs though. But that’s it. There’s not a single mark or a sticker or anything to differentiate between the two. So where are the differences then, well, they are under the skin.For starters, the most obvious change is a new larger battery. 2022 Ather 450X Gen 3 features a larger 3.7 kWh Li-ion battery over the 2.9 kWh battery pack on Gen 2. Due to an increase in cells, it is engulfed in a larger aluminium casing which is 20 mm longer and gets new mounting points on its chassis. This has resulted in roughly 4kg weight addition too.New Ather 450X Electric Scooter Gen 3 vs Gen 2With a bigger battery, range has increased. Claimed range or the ideal range in ideal conditions used to be 116 km on Gen 2 which is now increased by 30 km to 146 km. True range was 85 km and is now 105 km, a 20 km rise with Gen 3. Now, Gen 3 offers a 105 km true range in Eco Mode, 85 km in Ride mode and Warp Mode offers 65 km.Motor is retained as the Gen 2. With a bigger battery, load from the motor is now spread out between more cells and hence less heat is generated. Also factoring in the fact that longer range means less frequent charging, we can see better battery health too. But charging time is now increased by 55 minutes due to the larger battery.Feature Upgrades & PricingFor starters, rear tyre wrapped around the 12” alloy wheel, is now 100 section over 90 section unit on Gen 2. Front 90/90 tyre size is retained. Ather didn’t just slap an off-the-shelf MRF tyre and call it a day. They co-developed new tyres with MRF for the Gen 3, vastly improving the handling. Ather claims that the new tyres offer 22% better grip. This helps deliver better acceleration, better control on the road as well as reduces braking distance considerably. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video of the new Ather Gen 3 electric scooter below, by Anubhav Chauhan.[embedded content][embedded content]Other upgrades include a faster processor for the touchscreen dashboard along with double the RAM and storage at 2 GB and 16 GB respectively. Along with making the UI noticeably faster, larger storage allows Ather to offer voice commands and offline maps via an OTA update like found on Ola S1 Pro Move OS 2.2022 Ather 450X Gen 3 prices vary from city to city. It is priced at Rs. 1.39 lakh (ex-sh) in Delhi, a Rs. 1,000 increment and Rs. 1.55 lakh (ex-sh) in Bengaluru, a Rs. 5,000 increment. 450X Gen 3 mainly competes with Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and upcoming Simple Energy One which is expected to be the next market disruptor after S1 Pro.

      Bajaj Dynamo Name Registered – New Motorcycle Or Electric Scooter?

      by

      Earlier also, Bajaj had registered other names such as Pulsar Elan, Pulsar Eleganz, Twinner and BladeBajaj registers the name DYNAMOWhile OEMs register new names quite regularly, not every nameplate reaches production stage. It’s a good strategy nonetheless, as there’s no last moment scramble for a catchy brand name. OEMs often register multiple brand names, so that they can choose the most appropriate option when product development and production plans are finalized.Talking about Bajaj, the latest addition is Dynamo. While the name has reached the stage of ‘formalities check pass’, it has not received final approval. The name has been registered under Class 12, which covers ICE two-wheelers, electric vehicles as well as three-wheelers.Bajaj Dynamo – possible optionsThe term ‘Dynamo’ is commonly associated with a device that converts rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy. Since it refers to electricity, it is possible that Bajaj Dynamo has to do something with an electric vehicle. However, in terms of how products get their names, Dynamo doesn’t come across as a suitable name. It will be more relevant if used for a component or system, for example, a new ICE platform or EV powertrain. Class 12 of patent registration covers all such possibilities.Dynamo is also used to describe something energetic and spirited, for example, an energetic individual. In that sense, Bajaj Dynamo nameplate may be used for any type of vehicle, irrespective of the type of powertrain. It could be used for a new electric commercial vehicle, meant for B2B and B2C deliveries. It could be an electric three-wheeler as well.Bajaj Cruiser Motorcycle RenderAs not much info is available at this point of time, it is difficult to say what exactly Bajaj has planned for Dynamo nameplate. Moreover, there are no recent sightings of any new vehicle that could potentially be linked to this new name. Overall, it can be said that there’s a greater probability of Dynamo related to an electric vehicle.Upcoming Bajaj bikesIn the coming years, Bajaj will continue to focus on both its ICE and EV portfolio. Surely, more efforts are needed on the EV front, as currently Bajaj has only Chetak electric scooter. Bajaj is currently working with Yulu on the development of an entirely new EV that is expected to be launched later this year. This will not be sold in retail market like Chetak. It will be utilized exclusively by Yulu for its technology-driven mobility platform.For consumers, Bajaj has plans to expand Chetak portfolio to include new products as well as new sub-brands. For example, there are plans to launch Pulsar electric motorcycles. Bajaj is also working with KTM and Husqvarna for development of their electric two-wheelers.As Chetak has proved its mettle in domestic market, Bajaj is planning to launch it in overseas markets as well. ASEAN markets could be targeted first, as they have higher sales of electric two-wheelers. More
