“We hope to bring to bear upon global markets the individual strengths of the partners including brand position and perception, design and development technology, quality and cost competitiveness and worldwide distribution,” Bloor said in a press release.
The new partnership will enable Triumph to expand its global reach by entering new higher volume market segments, according to the release, especially in emerging markets.
Bajaj will gain access to the iconic Triumph brand, enabling it to offer a wider range of motorcycles within its domestic market and other international markets.
