Benefits of CNG over Internal Combustion Engine (Diesel & Petrol)

Environmental

  • No impurities, No Sulphur (S), No lead (Pb)
  • The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) offers up to a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for light-duty vehicles, and as much as a 23 percent reduction for medium- to heavy-duty vehicles, when compared with gasoline and diesel.
  • The sound pressure level of a CNG engine is lower than that of a diesel engine, causing 90 percent less noise1. This makes NGVs an especially good choice in densely populated areas or for vehicles that operate at night.
  • Very low levels of polluting gaseous emissions without smell and dust

High Performance

  • NGVs often deliver similar horsepower ratings to their diesel and gasoline-powered counterparts. Premium gasoline is 91 octanes. Natural gas has an octane rating of approximately 130. This higher octane allows for increased engine compression and combustion efficiency. Because of the clean-burning attributes of natural gas, NGVs generally have longer engine life compared to most gasoline-powered vehicles.

Safety

  • Lighter than air - in case of leak no dangerous puddles
  • Unlikely to ignite due to:
  • High ignition temperature
  • Narrow range of ignition
  • Lowest injury and death rate per vehicle mile
  • CNG cylinders structurally most sound and have passed every severe test

Economical

  • Cheaper than conventional fuel.
  • Payback period is short (around 3 - 4 Years) for CNG cylinder.
  • No frequent change in prices.
  • No adulteration or pilferage possible.

No Power Losses and follows the torque curve of Diesel  Euro IV/VI compatible based on bus engine selected  Simple and Compact

Optimum fuel economy due to better fuel control

Repeatability and Reliability of performance

No compromise in Drivability and Pick-up  Easy diagnosis. Self-Diagnosis system  Easy to install and calibrate

Based on vehicle selected long range can be achieved

In the unlikely event of failure to demonstrate performance bus can be reconverted to diesel.  Provide warranty period service and support assurance based on routes where buses would  operate apart from training local staff for any minor work.

Can take service contract and support with spares and service based on the routes bus would operate.

Based on the number of buses converted by us, an engineer can be stationed at one of the depots
