TVS joins hands to bring affordable transportation with CNG on scooter
The TVS Jupiter 125 is TVS’ best offering for family scooters, while it comes equipped with the largest under-seat storage in the 125cc petrol scooter lineup in India. It also has a unique fuel tank placement, which is located under the footboard area.
After the launch of the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle, TVS is apparently planning a scooter for the CNG-powered two-wheeler market with the TVS Jupiter 125. It is a well-received family scooter in India as the TVS Jupiter range is the second best-selling scooter in the country.
Work on the CNG scooter project has started under the codename: U740. The plan is to complete the scooter by the end of 2024, but we can expect it to be ready by the first half of 2025.
In my previous article, I mentioned that a maxi-scooter design would be more appropriate for a CNG-based scooter due to the larger space available. However, TVS does not have a maxi-scooter in its entire portfolio. Perhaps the approach for the CNG scooter will add a whole new design language.
With the aim of selling 1000 gas scooters, the idea of CNG scooter will definitely gain more traction due to the affordability and availability of CNG pumps. The range, however, will be defined by engineering as the claim for the Bajaj CNG motorcycle, Freedom, is over 200 kms on a full tank of petrol.
Are you willing to buy a CNG scooter or would you prefer an electric scooter over a petrol scooter as it is economical or is convenience more of a priority in a scooter than affordability? Also, will there be a separate queue at CNG pumps when two-wheelers start running on CNG, just like the queues for auto-rickshaws and autos are separate?
