Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj Auto India have formally commenced their exciting, long term, non-equity partnership in Pune, India. This is a unique moment, where two world-class companies that are passionate, as well as product focused, are coming together to build a brand-new range of mid-capacity motorcycles. The partnership will see the two companies with their respective strengths in large and small capacity motorcycles collaborate to design, engineer, and manufacture a range of mid-capacity motorcycles. The iconic Triumph brand will seek to further expand its global reach, with the partnership offering a new mid-sized sector opportunity and, importantly, a new entry point to several high-volume emerging markets, including India and other Asian markets. The strategic partnership will benefit both parties with Bajaj becoming one of Triumph's key distribution partners in crucial new markets for the Triumph brand around the globe. Going forward Bajaj will take over Triumph's Indian distribution activities, at a date yet to be confirmed, leveraging the great expertise that Bajaj has in this region. In their other key overseas markets, where Triumph is not currently present, Bajaj will represent Triumph and offer the new mid capacity bikes as part of the full Triumph line-up. In all other markets where Triumph is present the motorcycles developed together from this partnership will join the current Triumph product portfolio and be distributed by the Triumph led dealer network worldwide. This will truly unlock the potential on a global scale. The Triumph-Bajaj collaboration will combine strengths in design, technology, cost-competitive manufacturing and anintimate knowledge of key target markets to deliver a range of winning products and business success. The partnership will build a new engine and vehicle platform in the mid-capacity range (200-750cc) and offer multiple options to address different segments in this class. The proposition will be aspirational and affordable with a targeted pricing starting under INR 2 lacs in India. This will create a new entry point to the Triumph range around the world, and ensure Triumph can compete in important large segments of the global motorcycle market, and attract new customers to the brand.
