Seen as an upgrade to our traditional tricycle, the Bajaj RE is equipped with features including an MP3 player, a rear seat metal door, ergonomic seats, and symmetrical transparent hood on both sides.

HOPING to provide Filipinos with a new mode of transport system, Trimotors has launched the Bajaj RE in a new campaign, “Bagong Biyahe: Aarangkada na with Bajaj (A New Journey Begins with Bajaj)” for a safer, ergonomic, motorcycle ride.

In their campaign, Trimotors wants to provide a convenient form of mass transportation to all Filipinos citing that the most common mode of transportation is the Philippne tricycle.

Currently, the Bajaj three-wheelers are already plowing the streets of Tagaytay, Mati, and Siargao hoping to someday be more widely used throughout the country.

Many Filipino entrepreneurs are also customizing Bajaj three-wheelers for their start-up businesses like how Jeffrey “Pong” Ylagan of Ylagan customized it to be a PWD Transport Vehicle.

In Laguna, a food business customized the Bajaj RE as a mobile store franchise serving chicken wings, Korean fried chicken, and refreshments at the back of the vehicle.

Last April 27, Narvacan received five Bajaj RE three-wheelers equipped with Social Distancing Film at Sta. Lucia Town Plaza to be used for transporting frontliners as service vehicles.

Available in colors Yellow, Blue, Red, White and Green, the new Bajaj RE has an SRP of P182 thousand or P194 thousand for additional front and rear resin doors.

In New Delhi, India the local government has started to use their auto rickshaws as makeshift ambulances as the Covid-19 surge continues.

If the Philippines is to follow suit, modern jeepneys could also be retrofitted to become ambulances. Currently, buses are used to offer mobile Covid-19 antigen testing while many cities are eyeing to offer drive-thru vaccinations.
