Bajaj Auto and its partner Austrian partner KTM have decided on the strategy to take Husqvarna Motorcycles brand global and scale up the business multiple times. The first models, Vitpilen 401, Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 701 will be produced in Mattighofen, Austria and launched in early 2018. Later in 2018, the Vitpilen 401 and Svatpilen 401 production for the global markets will be transferred to Bajaj's Chakan factory.

Bajaj aims to sell Husqvarna Motorcycles at a similar level as KTM products in India and Indonesia. The Chakan produced 'Joint Products' volume for global markets, which is planned to exceed 100,000 units in 2017, is expected to double to 200,000 units sold in the next years.

Bajaj Auto and KTM, Europe's biggest motorcycle producer based in Austria, are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their partnership this year. The product lines DUKE 125-390 and RC 125-390 are produced in Bajaj's production facility in Chakan and are distributed by the two partners globally.
