Highlights

    While the Bajaj Qute is still silent in the Indian market its clearly making some noise in the global markets. Launched in October 2015, Bajaj has managed to export 334 units till 31 March, 2016. Bajaj currently exports to 19 global markets including Turkey, Russia, Indonesia and Peru to name a few.

    The other big news is that Qute has received 1 star Euro NCAP ratings. The Quadricycle doesn't have any airbags, ABS and the structure was judged to be unstable in the frontal test. In the side impact, the door on the struck side was detached from the A-pillar as a result of the door structure detaching from the hinges. Remember many popular cars like the Hyundai i10, Maruti Suzuki Alto & Tata Nano had failed the crash test getting a 0 star rating from Euro NCAP. Even other Quadricycle available in Europe like the Axiam & the Ligier IXO JS failed the crash test and were awarded with 1 star rating by the Belgium based automobile crash testing agency.

    Bajaj claims a mileage of 36Km/l on its Qute which has helped the company to establish the product in the global markets. Bajaj hopes to sell 1000 units of Qute in the ongoing financial 2016-17.

    While this might not all be good news for Bajaj, the other nightmare that is haunting the company is it still awaits clearance for the sales of its Quadricycle in India.
