Things You Certainly Didn’t Know About the CNG Vehicles
In this present situation if you don't know about CNG fuels then it is for sure that you are living under a rock. While everybody is aware that CNG as a fuel type is more economical and environment friendly, there are concerns on safety and performance. These concerns hold true for retro-fitted CNG vehicles but not so for CNG vehicles. Plus finding CNG pumps is not a headache at all. You will find a pump in between every three or four signals.
Every vehicle is specifically designed to run under various driving conditions. It is equipped with dual interdependent ECUs(Engine Control Unit) that communicate continuously with each other and provide inputs to the intelligent injection system. This ensures efficient air-fuel ratio during combustion thereby ensuring desirable performance on any roads- cities, highways and up/down hill.
Biggest concern that any owner of a CNG car faces is safety of self, family as well as of the vehicle, on the whole. Risk during refueling is addressed by the NGV (Natural gas vehicle) receptacle, which is a special nozzle that ensures faster and safer filling of gas, while the Micro-switch ensures that the engine does not accidentally start while refueling.
Making the switch, especially in larger fleets, takes time. The safety of both drivers and shop personnel should be the top priority. You can’t cut corners when switching to a new fuel and new technology. It takes time to learn the best practices and share them amongst your staff.
The CNG gas is cheaper than the petrol and diesel. The cost of fuel varies a great deal. Sometimes it’s super cheap, but other times it is expensive. The cost of CNG has been relatively stable over the recent years. As the CNG pumps provide options to customers in the future the probability of making CNG vehicles is very high.
While the benefits for switching to CNG include being more environmentally friendly and less expensive, the costs and scarce fueling stations across the country might be enough to dissuade you from making the switch.
