Bajaj Auto announced that it will launch its MINI four-wheeler commercial vehicle RE60 for intra-city urban transportation by the end of this fiscal.
"The commercial production of RE60 will begin by the end of this fiscal and the launch will also happen at the same time," said Mr. S Ravikumar, Senior Vice-President (Business Development), Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL).
The company had spent nearly four years in developing the product which is powered by a 200cc rear mounted petrol engine that has a top speed of 70 kilometre per hour with a highest mileage of 35 kilometre per litre.
As per an agreement with Renault-Nissan, BAL was supposed to develop and manufacture the vehicle and sold under the badge of the alliance.
Bajaj have decided not to go ahead with the small car concept with Renault-Nissan showcased in 2008, but the RE60 was unveiled at the Auto Expo this year which the company targets at the three wheeler customers. Bajaj also plans to sell the new RE60 in overseas markets where the company currently exports it three wheelers.
When asked about the feedback from the project partners Renault-Nissan, Ravikumar said: "We have shown the product to them. However, we have not received any reply from them yet."
