1. Where is the CNG tank actually placed?

As you all know, the Bajaj Freedom 125 comes with a 2kg CNG tank. Now this CNG tank is placed under the seat of the motorcycle. The Freedom 125 has been developed ground-up by Bajaj Auto with the factory-fitted CNG tank fully integrated with the bike.

2. How is the CNG tank protected?

The Bajaj Freedom 125 is based on a trellis frame. The CNG tank is housed in the trellis frame, which acts as a protective enclosure.

Further, Bajaj Auto claims that the Freedom 125 has undergone "rigorous and comprehensive safety testing", focussing on the resilience of the CNG kit. It has been subjected to various impact tests, including frontal, rear, and side collisions, as well as extreme scenarios, such as being run over by a truck and pendulum impact assessments.

Also, the Freedom 125's CNG tank has received official certification from PESO (Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization), ensuring compliance with government safety standards.

Other than the 2kg CNG tank, the Bajaj Freedom 125 also has a petrol tank that can hold 2 litres of fuel. Now the claimed Bajaj Freedom 125 mileage is 102km/kg in the CNG mode and 65km/l in the petrol mode. The total range is 204km in the CNG mode and 130km in the petrol mode. Overall, it is 334km.
