Bajaj has been working with Nissan Motor Co and Renault SA on a project to develop what was originally planned to be an ultra low-cost minicar. Bajaj and Renault-Nissan had announced the formation of a joint venture in May 2008. The project ran into hiccups over branding, product detail and concept issues.
The engine is a new water cooled DTSi 4 (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) valve and would give a maximum speed of 70km per hour.
The car has a seating capacity of four people. It has been designed and developed fully by Bajaj Auto and not with Renault or Nissan Motors.The RE 60 has body coloured bumpers and funky wheels. The interiors get a central speedometer cluster, folding front windows, 44-litre boot space, 95-litre under seat storage and prominent seatbelts in cabin.It is also available in fuel injected CNG variant.
Bajaj Auto is known for its two wheelers and three-wheelers. The company is making a four-wheeler for the first time.
