A natural gas vehicle (NGV) utilizes compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel source. Distinguished from autogas vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), NGVs rely on methane combustion, resulting in cleaner emissions due to the removal of contaminants from the natural gas source.
There are two types of autogas equipment and autogas stations as well: LPG (propane-butane mix) and compressed natural gas (CNG, methane). Natural gas is stored at a higher pressure than LPG (200 bar vs. 10 bar for LPG). The main consumer of LPG is commercial light-weight cargo transport (so as GAZelles in Russia are mostly LPG-powered).
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 atm), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
A Diesel engine is a compression ignition engine and does not have a spark plug. To operate a diesel engine with an alternate combustible fuel source such as natural gas, a Dual-Fuel system used with natural gas as the main fuel while diesel fuel is used for the ignition of the gas/air mixture inside the cylinder. In other words, a portion of ...
(The Center Square) - The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a waiver to allow California and the twelve other states that have adopted its emissions standards to ban gas-powered cars in 2035.
Volkswagen Caddy/Caddy Maxi EcoFuel CNG (a camping car/van version also available as the Caddy Life Tramper EcoFuel CNG) Volkswagen Eurovan (Transporter) T4/T5 2,0 I4 /3,2 VR6 BiFuel/EcoFuel CNG and TSI EcoFuel CNG (latter planned) (also LWB)
High-pressure compressed natural gas (CNG), mainly composed of methane, that is used to fuel normal combustion engines instead of gasoline. Combustion of methane produces the least amount of CO 2 of all fossil fuels. Gasoline cars can be retrofitted to CNG and become bifuel Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) as the gasoline tank is kept. The driver ...
