  • Bajaj launches Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine Autorickshaw

    MANGALORE: Bajaj Auto, a leading two and three-wheeler manufacturer, has launched its fuel efficient and low emission RE-GDI autorickshaws in

    this coastal city.

    The vehicle incorporates the latest Gasoline Technology - the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine, to achieve substantially lower emissions than even alternative clean fuels like Liquified Petoleum Gas (LPG) and Combusted Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles, company Sales and Marketing General Manager Sreeram Venkateshwaran told reporters here last night after the launch.

    Designed and developed by the company's R and D, the technology ensured "not only a cleaner environment but also delivers low operating cost to the autorickshaw owners", he said.

    The technology delivers a 33 per cent better fuel efficiency than the conventional autorickshaw "which is a boon for the operators in the days of rising fuel prices", Venkateshwaran said.

    The cost of the autorickshaw is Rs 1.17 lakh on road.

      I suppose this is the 2-stroke auto that was supposed to be launched? Cleaner than LPG/CNG?

      Or is it 4-stroke?

          This news might not affect bikers at all ...

          BTW I do hope that I ride NEW 2 Stroke bikes in this Lifetime of mine ... But, situation looks so hopeless ...

                          For long i have heard that two strokes will be back into business with this and that modification and that someone has perfected some sort of emmision thing only for the two strokes but then nothing happens ... I for one have ridden the yezdi 250 way back and loved all its glory and simplicity of the engine and design. Perhaps this thing might inspire bajaj to plonk it into bikes....
