What is the name of the world's first CNG motorcycle launched by Bajaj Auto Limited in July 2024?

Appeared in: DSSSB 12 August 2024

Explanation

Bajaj Auto launched the world's first bi-fuel (CNG + Petrol) motorcycle, the Bruzer 125, in July 2024.
This model features a 125cc engine and allows riders to switch between CNG and petrol, significantly reducing running costs and emissions.
The launch marks a major innovation in the two-wheeler industry, focusing on fuel efficiency and lower environmental impact.

Option A: The model name is not 'Liberty', and the engine capacity is 125cc, not 100cc.
Option B: While the engine capacity of 125cc is correct, the model name is 'Bruzer', not 'Liberty'.
Option C: 'Freedom' was a widely speculated name before the launch, but the final official name is 'Bruzer'. Additionally, the engine capacity is 125cc, not 175cc.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain General Knowledge and Current Affairs related to recent technological innovations in the automotive sector as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
Questions about 'firsts' (e.g., world's first, India's first) are common in the general awareness section of competitive exams.
This launch is significant as it represents a major technological shift towards alternative fuels in the mass-market two-wheeler segment in India.
What if the question asked about the primary benefit of the CNG motorcycle? The answer would be significantly lower running costs (around 50-65% reduction compared to petrol).

How to Approach the Question

Identify the key entities and events in the question: 'Bajaj Auto,' 'world's first CNG motorcycle,' and the launch date 'July 2024.'
Recognize this as a current affairs question requiring recall of recent major events in technology and business.
Evaluate the options provided. Eliminate options based on incorrect names or specifications (engine size). 'Liberty' is not associated with this Bajaj launch, and '175cc' is an incorrect engine size.
Recall or deduce the correct model name and engine combination. The correct name is 'Bruzer' with a 125cc engine.
