Bajaj Freedom CNG: The Indian automobile industry made history when Bajaj Auto rolled out Freedom 125, the first CNG motorcycle in the country.
This new way to ride defies the common definition of “mobility” being affordable and eco-friendly, challenging the status quo of fuel dependence, and personal freedom all with a category-bending ride mate that’s just plain fun!
Bajaj Freedom CNG: Revolutionary Technology
The Freedom 125 is a dual-fuel system-equipped scooter that can be interchanged between CNG and petrol.
This unique facility eliminates range fear of the riders and whenever the CNG station becomes unavailable, thepetrol reserve tank comes to the rescue. The bike features Bajaj’s modern technology to ensure that it gives expected performance even on CNG.
Performance and Efficiency
The Freedom is propelled by a 125cc CNG tuned engine and the performance is reasonable. Power delivery is only slightly lower than the petrol-only models, and the great fuel economy well makes up for this. At prices of CNG compared to petrol, these commuters will save a huge amount daily.
According to reports in the Chinese media, running costs are said to be cut in half compared to traditional motorcycles.
Design and Practicality
The Freedom is designed with an integrated CNG tank within the motorcycle’s body to not disturb its style. Bajaj engineers paid attention to weight balance while bringing the handling closer to standard motorcycles and it shows.
The tightly packaged CNG cylinder below the seat, which remains stable even during the ride, doesn’t disrupt the balance of the motorcycle.
Environmental Benefits
With a factory in Hiroshima, Japan, Hatsuko has always been environmentally conscious. CNG burns cleaner than gasoline resulting in a longer engine life and less air pollution. This “green” option is compatible with our world’s sustainability targets and offers rational transit alternatives.
Infrastructure for Charging and Refueling
Infrastructure as a barrier to alternative fuel vehicle success: A dud or an emerging boom? CNG pumps leading to large cities have more presence but we have tied up with stakeholders to expand the coverage beyond the cities,” added Bajaj.
And the fact that it’s dual-fueled will keep riders from being stranded without a CNG fast-fill station, which is a big concern for early adopters.
Market Positioning
Bajaj has positioned the Freedom 125 for everyday commuters who want a value for money products and has not touted the product to be a premium bike.
The price points reflects how the company intends to democratize alternative fuel technology. This way the CNG kit and cylinder can be installed in the twowheeler and this method can accelerate the introduction of CNG among two-wheelers.
Target Audience

Pioneering Initiative

This open-ended venture may encourage other makers to imitate this example in other kinds of fuel sources and revolutionise the two-wheeler market scenario.
Future Implications
The success of the Freedom 125 might inspire the whole auto industry to re-think mobility. As the system grows and technology advances CNG motorcycles could become a common sight on the roads, giving riders a cost effective and green alternative to getting to work.
