(NTI): Bajaj Auto, renowned for its innovative prowess in the two-wheeler industry, has once again set a new benchmark by introducing the world’s first CNG motorcycle, the Freedom 125. Priced from INR 95,000 (ex-showroom, India), this revolutionary motorcycle marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and cost-effective mode of transportation.
The launch, held in Pune, was graced by the presence of Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari, who witnessed the unveiling of the Freedom 125 by Rajiv Bajaj, managing director of Bajaj Auto. This revolutionary motorcycle is not only a testament to Bajaj Auto’s commitment to innovation but also a reflection of the company’s dedication to addressing the rising fuel costs and environmental concerns that have plagued the automobile industry.
The Freedom 125 boasts a unique dual-fuel system, allowing riders to seamlessly switch between CNG and petrol modes. Its CNG tank offers an impressive range of over 200 km on a mere 2 kg of CNG, while the 2-liter petrol tank serves as a reliable backup, ensuring an uninterrupted journey. This innovative design is expected to reduce fuel expenses by approximately 50% compared to conventional petrol motorcycles, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious riders.
The motorcycle will initially be available in Maharashtra and Gujarat, with plans to expand its reach to other cities in a phased manner. Bajaj Auto’s extensive dealership network and strong brand reputation are expected to contribute to the Freedom 125’s success in the Indian market.
This launch represents a significant milestone in the evolution of motorcycles, demonstrating Bajaj Auto’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and providing consumers with sustainable and affordable transportation solutions. The Freedom 125 is poised to revolutionize the two-wheeler industry by ushering in a new era of CNG-powered motorcycles, offering riders the freedom to explore without compromising on cost or environmental impact.
