Bajaj RE-60 - Four wheeler with 35kmpl mileage

Bajaj Auto Ltd on Friday is set to roll out its much-delayed four-seater "quadricycle" codenamed RE-60 from its Aurangabad plant. The Bajaj RE60 was first unveiled on 3 January 2012, at the 2012 Auto Expo in Delhi. The Bajaj RE60 is an inexpensive, rear-engined, four-passenger city car which is aimed primarily at the Indian domestic market and is looking to replace the autorikshaw.

The company claims that the vehicle's 216-litre petrol will deliver a mileage of 35 km per litre, with lowest emissions.

Unveiling the four-seater RE60 here, Bajaj said the company will roll out the "revolutionary four-wheeler RE60" from its Aurangabad plant, where it used to manufacture its once iconic scooters.

The company plans to roll out 5,000 units a month, to begin with, Bajaj Auto's Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said, adding that though it has an in-principle go-ahead from the government, commercial production would happen only after a government-appointed committee, set up to define the category of this vehicle, submits its report.

Explaining the reason for the committee report, Bajaj Auto's President, Commercial Vehicles, R C Maheshwari, said, "The government has given us an in-principle approval to create this new class of four-wheelers or quadricycles".

The company has not announced the pricing for the vehicle. However its expected that the vehicle will cost Rs. 1.5 Lakhs
