CNG tank and mileage

The Bajaj Freedom features a 2 kg CNG tank under its seat

 

The biggest talking point about the Bajaj Freedom is the 2 kg CNG tank, integrated beneath the seat. The motorcycle also features a 2-litre auxiliary petrol tank that sits just ahead of the seat. Bajaj claims that when running purely on CNG, the bike will cover up to 102 kilometres per kilogram of CNG. The bike’s CNG-only range stands at 200 kilometres, which, in combination with the petrol tank mileage, will result in a range of up to 330 kilometres. 


When running on CNG, the Freedom will slash daily running costs by 50 per cent, lower CO2 emissions by 26 per cent and enable owners to save up to Rs 75,000 in fuel costs over 5 years, compared to a pure-petrol 125 cc motorcycle.
