Leading Indian two-wheeler maker, Bajaj Auto has recently filed a trademark application for the name ‘Vector’ in India. This has sparked speculations that the company might be planning to introduce an electric scooter under its Chetak brand of electric vehicles.
The filing of the trademark, however, does not guarantee the production of a specific model. However, there are two reasons that fuelled the speculations. In 2020, Bajaj’s subsidiary, Chetak Technologies, was established solely for the development of electric two-wheelers. It was during this period that Swedish manufacturer Husqvarna unveiled the ‘Vektorr’ EV concept, which was believed to be based on the Chetak EV. Notably, this scooter was spotted testing on Indian roads alongside other Chetak e-scooters.
