Benefit of Liquefied natural gas Vehicles over Internal Combustion Vehicles
Liquified Natural Gas (predominantly methane) that has been chilled to -162°C to convert it to liquid form (Becomes 1/600th of original volume for ease of storage or transportation.
LNG fuel is stored in a double walled, stainless steel tank, the space between the inter & outer tank is vacuum sealed much like a Thermos
Except storage there is no difference between LNG and CNG systems
LNG gives you longer range of 1500 kms
LNG boil off in the hot Indian conditions is likely to be an issue
Liquid LNG tank of 450 litres Water Capacity Can hold ~175 kg LNG
Post Conversion. There is no loss of Horse Power
Vehicle life increases threefold compare to diesel
Huge savings can be achieved up to 40%
Payback time of 2-3 years for CV & less than a year for long route buses
Existing BSIII vehicles can be converted to BSIV & above
Theft of fuel can be totally eliminated
ARAI/ICAT approved conversion kits with trained technician for service support
Increases life of engine & drastic reduction in maintenance cost
