Bajaj Eyeing CBG-Powered Bikes, Which Just Might Be The Key To Future Motorcycling

While manufacturers in other parts of the world seem to be obsessed with stuffing their bikes with more tech, more power, and ultimately more expensive stuff, Indian companies like Bajaj are focusing on other things. For example, we recently talked about how Bajaj unveiled the world’s first CNG-powered motorcycle in the form of the Freedom 125.

However, it seems that Bajaj isn’t content with just compressed natural gas (CNG). It wants to push for more sustainable alternative fuels moving into the future. That’s why Bajaj CEO Rajiv Bajaj recently announced that the company plans on studying CBG, or compressed biogas, as yet another alternative and sustainable fuel moving forward.

Seeing that the Freedom 125 has become quite a massive success, selling upwards of 25,000 units in the first few months following its launch, it’s clear that Indian commuters are looking for more affordable means of getting around. Bajaj emphasizes the potential of CBG as a sustainable fuel, provided that its production scales up in the future.
