Avtotor assembled the first batch of BAIC bi-fuel sedans

The Kaliningrad Avtotor plant showed a locally produced bi-fuel Chinese BAIC U5 Plus sedan. The car retained the standard fuel tank and also received two gas bottles.

According to the Avtotor press service, the new product was presented together with the company Gazprom Gas Engine Systems at the gas forum in St. Petersburg. In addition to the gas tank, the BAIC U5 plus sedan received two 39-liter cylinders for compressed natural gas. The containers are installed in the spare wheel well to maintain trunk volume. The lack of a spare wheel is compensated by a tire repair kit.

Gas equipment is installed and tested at the factory and does not require additional certification from the sedan buyer, Avtotor notes. Bi-fuel BAIC U5 plus is produced with the corresponding mention already in the title, so that the car can be registered immediately without unnecessary approvals.

The factory produced a trial batch of 20 bi-fuel sedans. The power reserve and technical characteristics of the engine are not reported. The release date of BAIC U5 plus on the market and the cost of the new product will be announced later.
