Imagine you’re riding your scooter through the city, enjoying the breeze, when suddenly you run out of fuel. But instead of panicking or looking for a petrol pump, you press a simple button, and your scooter switches to another fuel. Sounds like magic, right? Well, it’s real.
In January 2025, TVS Motor Company introduced something incredible at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo—the world’s first CNG-powered scooter, the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG. This means that instead of using just petrol, this scooter can run on both petrol and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Now that’s something special.
So, what makes this scooter different from all the others? Let’s find out.
What Makes the TVS Jupiter 125 CNG So Special?
Two Fuels, One Scooter!
Most scooters in India run only on petrol. But this one gives you two fuel options—CNG and petrol. That means if your scooter runs out of one fuel, you can switch to the other and keep riding. No more getting stuck in the middle of the road.
Imagine this: You’re on your way to meet your friends, but your scooter’s petrol tank is empty. Instead of stopping everything and rushing to a petrol pump, you just switch to CNG mode and keep going.
And the best part? You don’t need to be a mechanic to do this. There’s a simple button that lets you switch between fuels in seconds.
Where Does the CNG Go?
Now, you might be wondering: Where is the CNG stored in the scooter? After all, scooters don’t have as much space as cars.
TVS has thought about this. The CNG tank is placed under the seat and can hold 1.4 kg of CNG. To keep everything tidy and safe, TVS has covered the tank with a plastic panel. So when you open your seat, you won’t see a big, scary tank—just a neat little setup.
There’s also a pressure gauge and a filler nozzle under the seat. These help you check how much CNG you have left and refill it when needed.
It’s a smart and simple design.
Super Fuel Efficient! Save Money on Fuel
One of the biggest reasons people will love this scooter is fuel efficiency. This means it uses less fuel to travel long distances, saving you money.
TVS claims that the Jupiter 125 CNG can travel 84 km on just 1 kg of CNG.
Let’s compare:
- A normal petrol scooter gives you around 50-60 km per liter of petrol.
- But with this scooter, you get 84 km per kg of CNG, which is much cheaper than petrol.
And here’s the real magic: With a full tank of both CNG and petrol, this scooter can travel up to 226 km without refueling. That means fewer stops at fuel stations and more time on the road.
Imagine going on a long ride with your friends and not worrying about fuel at all.
How Fast Can It Go?
Let’s talk about speed. Everyone wants a scooter that’s both fuel-efficient and fast enough to zip through city traffic.
The Jupiter 125 CNG has a 124.8cc engine that produces:
- 7.2 hp of power
- 9.4 Nm of torque
Now, these numbers might sound a little technical, but here’s what they mean in simple words:
- It’s slightly less powerful than the petrol version, but still strong enough for daily rides.
- It has a top speed of 80.5 km/h, which is great for city roads. You can easily ride through traffic and even enjoy a smooth ride on highways.
So, whether you’re going to school, work, or just cruising around town, this scooter will get you there comfortably and efficiently.
Stylish and Packed with Cool Features
Now, let’s talk about the looks and features.
The Jupiter 125 CNG looks almost the same as the petrol version, except for one small difference—a CNG sticker on the front. But don’t worry, it’s still as stylish and modern as ever.
And guess what? It comes with some really useful features:
- A digital + analog display – So you can see your speed, fuel levels, and more.
- A front cubby with a USB charger – Need to charge your phone on the go? No problem.
- Start/Stop technology – This feature helps save even more fuel by turning off the engine when you stop at traffic signals and turning it back on when you accelerate.
With all these features, the Jupiter 125 CNG is not just eco-friendly but also fun and convenient to ride.
When Can You Buy It?
Now, here’s the big question—when can we actually see this scooter on the roads?
Right now, the Jupiter 125 CNG is just a concept model. This means TVS has built a few of them to see how people react before making it available to everyone.
But here’s the exciting part: Since eco-friendly vehicles are the future, we can expect this scooter to launch by late 2025 or early 2026.
So, if you love saving fuel, helping the environment, and riding a super cool scooter, just wait a little longer. The Jupiter 125 CNG might soon be available in showrooms near you.
Why Is This Scooter Important?
This scooter is not just about saving fuel—it’s also about saving the planet.
Here’s why:
- CNG is cleaner than petrol – It produces less pollution, which means cleaner air for everyone.
- CNG is cheaper than petrol – That means more savings in your pocket.
- It helps reduce our dependence on petrol – Since petrol prices keep going up, having another fuel option is always a good idea.
TVS has taken a big step toward a greener and better future with the Jupiter 125 CNG.
