Baja Auto, MotoCzysz announce ‘Dream project’ JV
Bajaj Auto has announced a joint venture agreement with the US-based MotoCzysz LLC for a ‘Dream’ project, under which the two companies will work towards developing a ‘next generation automobile.’ MotoCzysz has recently been in the news for its E1pc electric superbike, while Bajaj has earlier made expressed its intent to get into the small family car segment, so we suppose it would be safe to assume that Bajaj and MotoCzysz are likely to work on a small electric car for the Indian market.
‘Michael Czysz has a rare skill set with first hand experience in internal combustion, electrification, motorcycle and overall environmental design. Given his unique design background and history of innovation, we are excited about the possibilities of this project,’ says Rajiv Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Auto.
‘When I walked through the gates of Bajaj, I was immediately moved, the place, the people and the family are inspiring, it feels like anything is possible and the level of competence I saw was world class. Bajaj is an ideal partner,’ says Michael Czysz.
The two companies claim they will ‘combine green technologies with innovative packaging and style solutions to create an affordable alternative to the traditional automobile.’ What that really means is open to interpretation but work on building the first prototype will actually start this month in Portland, in the US, so the Bajaj-MotoCzysz automobile could become a reality in the not-too-distant future!
