Bajaj launched its Qute Quadricycle in Maharashtra and it has the honour of being the first Quadricycle to be launched in the country. The vehicle is available in both petrol and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) variant and is priced at  ₹2.48 lakhs and  ₹2.78 lakhs respectively. 

The new Bajaj Qute quadricycle bridges the gap between a three-wheeler rickshaw and a proper four-wheeler and could possibly be a replacement for the former.
