With the launch of the Freedom – a CNG bike, Bajaj has opened up an entirely new line of business within the company. And, the company has plans to launch more CNG bikes in the future.
These upcoming bikes will be based on the Freedom platform, however, the displacement of the bikes will vary based on the segment Bajaj wants to enter. The company has a history of fully using a platform and developing more products. Through this route, the company can bring the cost of development down considerably.
The Freedom is a 125cc motorcycle, and depending on how the market responds, the company could also develop a 150cc version and maybe even a 110cc version. These segments are known to attract customers whose highest priority is saving money on fuel. With CNG models, these customers are likely to save up decent money every month.
As of now, there are no timelines for the launches of these bikes. But knowing Bajaj, they would already have a few prototypes ready for future models. This company is known to adapt to market dynamics quickly and could launch a CNG bike within a few months.
