Baja Qute, a newly launched vehicle, is receiving huge endorsements as it comes to provide solution for first mile and last mile transportation needs in Ghana.
Among celebrities who have endorsed the car so far are Ama K Abebrese and skit star Mmebusem, who is otherwise referred to as Ghana Jesus.
Cadmus Investments Ghana Limited, a fully indigenous Ghanaian company, in partnership with Bajaj Auto, the world’s largest manufacturer of three-wheelers and the largest exporter of two-wheelers from India, launched the compact quadricycle vehicle on Thursday.
It is powered by an all new water-cooled DTSi, 4-valve engine that has an impressive fuel efficiency of 36 kmpl* and a max speed of 70km per hour. It is easy to drive, compact, lightweight and has an extremely low carbon emission of 66 gm/km*.
It has been designed in response to requirements of cost effectiveness, first and last mile public transport across the world by optimizing size, weight, cost and speed.
The Qute meets the European Quadricycle norms and cleared the European whole vehicle type approval.
In Ghana, Bajaj Auto would sell the Qute through its sole distributor, Cadmus Investments Limited. The vision of Cadmus Investments is to provide a low-cost transport solution that would change their lives for the better, allowing people to have access to efficient, maintainable vehicles and reliable after-sales infrastructure they can count on.
