With the ever-increasing prices of petrol and diesel, the demand for CNG vehicles is on the rise, owing to the economical advantage they offer.
In line with this trend, Bajaj is set to revolutionize the market by launching the nation’s first CNG-powered bike, promising an eco-friendly and cost-effective mode of transportation.
Here’s everything you need to know about this groundbreaking innovation:
Arrival of the CNG Bike
Anticipated Launch: Bajaj’s Managing Director, Rajiv Bajaj, revealed in an interview with CNBC TV 18 that the CNG-powered bike is slated to hit the market in the second quarter of this year, defying earlier expectations of a 2025 launch.
Operational Mechanism
Seamless Functionality: The CNG bike will operate akin to a conventional motorcycle, where CNG will be delivered to the engine through a designated pipe.
Upon mixing with oxygen, the CNG will undergo combustion, generating the necessary power to drive the engine forward.
Safety Measures
Addressing Safety Concerns: Recognizing potential safety hazards associated with gas leakage, the CNG bike is expected to incorporate enhanced safety features.
Additionally, it remains uncertain whether the bike will exclusively rely on CNG or offer a dual-fuel option, including petrol.
Power Output
Performance Considerations: While CNG vehicles typically exhibit lower power output compared to their petrol and diesel counterparts, resulting in variance in pickup and acceleration, CNG bikes are likely to follow suit.
Expect a marginally reduced power output compared to traditional petrol-powered bikes.
Embracing Eco-Friendly Mobility
With the impending launch of the country’s first CNG-powered bike, Bajaj is poised to usher in a new era of sustainable transportation, catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives in the automotive industry.
