Automakers continue to experiment to reduce the environmental impact of their cars. This process is moving in several directions, including the conversion of traditional internal combustion engines to gas engine fuel. Despite the fact that the technology itself is more than 100 years old, it could well compete with electricity. At least in terms of affordability. And now AVTOVAZ is expanding its range of CNG vehicles.
Recently, for some reason, many have become convinced that an environmentally friendly car can be exclusively electric, forgetting that there are other technologies that can significantly reduce the harm that cars do to nature. For example, the use of hydrogen fuel cells. And the potential of gas engine fuel for internal combustion engines has not yet been fully revealed. And in this regard, it is very important that AVTOVAZ announced the start of production and sale of a dual-fuel modification of the LADA Granta sedan, equipped with methane gas equipment.
It is fitted to sedans in all air-conditioned configurations. Retrofitting of the car is carried out by the Togliatti company ATS-AVTO LLC. LADA Granta CNG uses both gasoline and compressed natural gas methane as fuel. The cylinder is designed for 80 liters of gas and is located in the trunk, while the volume of the luggage compartment has been reduced to 340 liters. The average gas consumption is 6.1 cubic meters / 100 km. This allows a car fully filled with gasoline and gasoline to travel 1,000 kilometers without refueling. The surcharge for the adjustment of CNG over the gasoline version is 45 thousand rubles.
This technical solution has been successfully tested on the Vesta and Largus families, and now LPG is installed for the first time in AVTOVAZ practice on the most affordable model. And according to the AvtoVzglyad portal, this will make it even more attractive due to lower operating costs.
