Bajaj To Roll Out Exceed With DTS-Si In Sept

Bajaj Auto, two- wheeler major, on August 9 rolled out its Digital Twin Spark - Swirl induction (DTS-Si) technology that will offer the customer a combination of fuel economy and performance. The company''s research and development team has built a 125cc engine, which is the first engine based on the DTS-Si technology. A new motorcycle Exceed, to be launched early next month, will have this engine, and will mark Bajaj Auto''s entry in the 125cc segment, said the source. The production of motorcycles using the new engine will begin at the company''s Waluj (Aurangabad) plant from tomorrow (10 August), and the estimated run for September will be 20,000 units which will be ramped up to 50,000 per month from November. Admitting that the new product will cannibalise the 100cc Platina to an extent, Bajaj said the Exceed volumes with higher margins will justify the trade-off.
