Platina LPG Bike:

Bajaj plans to launch first LPG bike, Bajaj Platina LPG, in the mid of 2009. The testing of 50 units of this bi-fuel bike, Bajaj Platina LPG, is going on in cities Sangli and Ahmedabad. Though testing is over, exact date of launching is not disclosed. Bajaj Platina LPG will have a 4 kg LPG cylinder apart from having a 10 liter petrol tank due to considering the fact that is the lack of re-fuelling stations of LPG in all regions.
 

The running cost of Bajaj Platina LPG will be lower by the 35 to 40% over the petrol version of this bike because there will be a 20% drop in power delivery The movement to bi-fuel platform is something what the company has been talking for some time and Bajaj is now working on tuning the price of the vehicle before it is made commercially available in cities that have auto LPG-fueling centers. The 4-litre LPG cylinder gives a mileage of 200 Kms at one go, making it an adequate vehicle for in-city driving.

Bajaj Auto, which is believed to be sourcing some of the components for the LPG kits from Italian suppliers, is negotiating with the vendors to rationalise costs, especially as the demand for the vehicle may increase once it is commercially available.
