Bajaj Auto redefines three-wheeler mobility with a multi-fuel vision

As India transitions toward cleaner transport, Bajaj Auto is reimagining its iconic three-wheeler lineup through a multi-fuel strategy that integrates CNG and electric technologies. This dual approach aims to balance sustainability with cost-effectiveness — a critical factor in India’s price-sensitive mobility market.

CNG remains the bridge to sustainable urban mobility

At the heart of Bajaj Auto’s current roadmap is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The fuel offers a practical, lower-emission alternative to diesel and petrol, making it ideal for commercial three-wheeler fleets across urban and semi-urban India. With infrastructure for CNG expanding rapidly, Bajaj continues to strengthen its CNG portfolio while keeping operational costs attractive for fleet operators.

Electrification, engineered with caution and scale

The company is also scaling up its electric three-wheeler offerings, led by models like the Bajaj RE E-TEC 9.0. Built on Bajaj’s reliable manufacturing platform, the E-TEC focuses on performance, efficiency, and adaptability to evolving EV ecosystems. Executive Director Rakesh Sharma emphasizes a “stepwise electrification” approach — expanding production and charging infrastructure in line with consumer and policy readiness.

Balancing innovation and legacy for long-term leadership

While many automakers are rushing into EV-only pathways, Bajaj Auto’s multi-energy architecture ensures resilience against market and policy fluctuations. Its ongoing R&D investments and partnerships underline a commitment to future-proofing mobility, blending traditional reliability with emerging clean technologies.
