Eco Factor: Low-emission bi-fuel vehicle powered by CNG.
General Motors India has unveiled the CNG version of its Chevrolet Aveo mid-sized sedan. The Aveo CNG is a bi-fuel vehicle with a full-size petrol tank and is billed as one of the most environmentally friendly vehicles available in India. The company stated that the launch is a testament to the importance that GM India attached to green technology and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
The running cost of the Aveo CNG is expected to be 54 percent less than a similar vehicle powered by gasoline and 25 percent less than a similar vehicle powered by diesel. The Aveo CNG has a range of about 200km on a full tank of CNG. The Chevrolet Aveo CNG is equipped with next-generation computer-controlled CNG injection technology from Italy. In an industry first, all “critical to quality” CNG kit components are fitted at the factory – including the CNG injectors, selector switch, modified wiring and suspension – to ensure high-quality and trouble-free service.
