All the vehicles from Bajaj Auto now meet the BSIV norms. Right from the entry-level motorcycle, the CT100, to its flagship offering, the Dominar 400, all these vehicles now conform to the new emissions norm. This also includes the three-wheelers and quadricycles from the automaker and Bajaj is the first Indian manufacturer to achieve this milestone.
Clearly, with the rise in the number of vehicles on Indian roads, vehicular pollution should be taken seriously, with strong measures taken to restrict it. These measures – BSIV norms being one such – will apply to vehicles in some of the big as well as a few smaller cities across the country. However, most manufacturers seem to be taking their time and waiting it out till the norms actually kick in, which is why this step by Bajaj is commendable. Another notable thing is that the measures are being taken for all of the vehicles in the company’s portfolio, across the country, instead of just its offerings in the cities where it will be mandatory to comply to the norms.
The company has always been at the forefront of bringing positive changes to the industry and that sentiment reflects in its bikes. It was also the first Indian bike manufacturer to introduce perimeter frame chassis in its performance bikes, starting with the NS200 and then proceeding to the RS 200, with the latest one being the Dominar 400. The changes made to the engines of the vehicles include a revised exhaust system, and that’s that – there’s no impact on the fuel economy of the vehicles.
