Global milestone for PIERER Mobility:

The 1,000,000^th KTM motorcycle leaves the production plant of the strategic partner Bajaj in Pune/India

PIERER Mobility AG crossed a significant milestone with its leading premium motorcycle brand KTM in India. The one millionth motorcycle - a KTM Adventure 390 - has rolled off the production line at Bajaj's Chakan plant in Pune. This Bajaj Auto Limited plant has been co-developing and manufacturing KTM (125cc to 390cc) and Husqvarna (125cc to 401cc) motorcycles for global distribution since 2011.

To mark this historic occasion, Mr. Stefan Pierer, CEO of Pierer Mobility AG, and Mr. Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director & CEO of Bajaj Auto Limited, were present at the Chakan plant. “Manufacturing has traditionally been one of our strengths, and the one-millionth KTM milestone is a testimony to that”, says Rajiv Bajaj. “When we inked our partnership in 2007, we set ourselves the goal of developing innovations as strategic partners to make KTM’s brands known worldwide. One million has been achieved. There are many more to go”, underlines Bajaj.               

Stefan Pierer, CEO of PIERER Mobility AG: “This is indeed a momentous occasion for both PIERER Mobility and Bajaj Auto.  Our success is based on four pillars: globalization, constant innovation, motivated employees and established brands. As Europe’s leading manufacturer of powered two-wheelers, we have the right partner in Bajaj with the same passion to deliver such successful services together. This gives us confidence for the future.”
