Bajaj Auto is targeting a sale of 3,00,000 three-wheelers in FY2017, a growth of 17 per cent over FY-2016. In FY2016, the company, claiming to be the largest three-wheeler manufacturer in the world, sold the highest ever 2,54,967 units. Offering petrol and diesel three-wheelers in the passenger and cargo carrier versions, the company, according to R C Maheshwari, President (Commercial Vehicle Business), Bajaj Auto, is a testament of Bajaj Auto’s leadership in offering some of the world’s finest three-wheelers. “We have seen significant growth in the petrol and other fuel vehicles. The response to our new range of diesel passenger vehicles has been overwhelming,” he added. Targeting leadership in the diesel passenger segment and a double digit growth in FY2017, Bajaj Auto launched a new range of diesel vehicles – Compact, Compact+, and Maxima, with power clutch and CV joints during the second half of the fiscal.
