The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG Bike Export 6 Countries.
"Our initial focus will be India, which is a massive market in itself," said Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director at Bajaj Auto, acknowledging the limited global reach of CNG refuelling networks. "A few stand out: Egypt, Tanzania, Peru, Colombia, Bangladesh, and Indonesia."
"Once we've established a strong presence in India, we'll begin exploring these markets," Sharma said. This strategic approach leverages Bajaj's experience in the CNG segment. The company already offers bi-fuel CNG options for its three-wheeler range, and the CNG-powered Qute is expected to enter markets such as Egypt.
The Freedom 125 is powered by a 125cc horizontally mounted single-cylinder engine that produces 9.5hp at 8,000rpm and 9.7Nm at 6,000rpm and has a claimed range of 330km.
