Bajaj Not Building Small Car For Renault-Nissan
Bajaj Auto intends to use the platform developed for the low cost car to build an inexpensive commercial vehicle that will be unveiled by January. If this vehicle is successful there might be a possibility of Bajaj eventually building a car out of it.
Bajaj had signed an agreement with alliance partners Renault-Nissan to develop a ultra-low cost car. The Franco-Japanese alliance was not keen to tarnish its image if the Bajaj small car did not match its quality standards.
