Bajaj Auto's CNG-powered bike spotted testing

The CNG-powered bike could use a 110cc or 125cc single-cylinder engine.

Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj recently announced the company's plans to introduce a CNG-powered motorcycle in the Indian market. Now, a test mule of what is believed to be the new CNG bike has been spotted testing.

The spy images suggest that Bajaj Auto's upcoming CNG bike could be aimed at the commuter segment. It has a flat, single-piece seat and an enclosed chain drive.

The bike is equipped with a telescopic fork at the front and has a mono-shock rear suspension. It rides on alloy wheels and has a disc brake at the front.

According to reports, the CNG-powered bike could use a 110cc or 125cc single-cylinder engine. Bajaj said that with the CNG-powered motorcycle, Bajaj should be able to cut down on operating and fuel costs by up to 50-65%.

Reports suggest that the project is internally known as 'Bruzer E101'. It is expected to go on sale in the next quarter.
