A new last mile transport solution. We assess if it can upset the humble three-wheeler.
The Bajaj Qute was showcased in 2012 and has been on sale since 2016, but not in India. It went on sale abroad as Bajaj locked horns with established car manufacturers over the legality of the Qute plying on our roads and until 2018, the Qute was embroiled in courtroom battles. Last year, the road and transport ministry formally introduced the quadricycle class of vehicle in India, putting an end to Bajaj’s concerns and that means you and I can legally buy it and drive it on our streets. It’s available for both commercial and personal use which only broadens its scope in the market. Interested? Want to know what quadricycle is and what it is like to drive? Read on.
What is a quadricycle, after all?
Quadricycles are microcars, a class of vehicle that has been on sale in the European Union for quite some time. They have a specific size and weight limit and must meet regulatory emission and crash safety norms.
