Personal mobility major Uber on Thursday announced a partnership with Bajaj Auto to launch Bajaj Qute on UberXS for quick, affordable and smart urban commuting.

The Bajaj Qute is a driver-plus three passenger quadricycle. The four-wheeled motor vehicle is smaller and lighter than a passenger car. Qute comes with two fuel options — CNG and Petrol. All units available as UberXS rides will be powered by the eco-friendly CNG fuel option, which provides a mileage of 43 km/kg and makes urban commuting more environment-friendly and affordable.

 

UberXS is a brand-new category in the India-SA region and will initially offer Bajaj Qute exclusively in Bengaluru.

Nandini Maheshwari, Head, Business Development, Uber India & South Asia, said, “We are delighted to partner with one of India’s most trusted names, Bajaj Auto, to launch Bajaj Qute on UberXS in Bengaluru. This partnership is an extension of Uber’s commitment towards lowering transportation costs, enhancing asset utilization and improving rider convenience.”

Uber has recently collaborated with Yulu in Bengaluru to offer e-bikes for reducing congestion and promoting more eco-friendly travel for everyday urban commuters.

“Bajaj Qute is the first quadricycle of India. It will prove to be an ideal solution for the mobility challenges of congestion and pollution arising from rapid urbanisation. Powered by a lightweight 216 cc 4-valve water-cooled DTSi engine with closed loop fuel injection system it will result in higher fuel efficiency,” said Samardeep Subandh, Senior Vice-President, Bajaj Auto.
