CNG and LPG on the cards for car company's

Indian car company's will expand the CNG and LPG versions of their products. Both the fuels are responsible for slashing the running cost almost 50 per cent. These fuels are also eco-friendly. Toyota Corolla, Maruti SX4, Skoda Octavia and General Motors’ Chevrolet Aveo are set to come in compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) versions soon, according to company executives. “We are working with different fuel options to lower emissions without compromising power of the vehicle,” said IV Rao, who heads the research and development division of Maruti Suzuki. Skoda Auto, which has launched Octavia on natural gas in Spain and other European markets, is considering the gas-based fuel options for India. Toyota Kirloskar, which recently launched the CNG version of Innova, is now testing the natural gas-powered Corolla, a company executive said. GM, which launched Optra CNG back in 2006, is now considering more eco-friendly vehicles running on bio-diesel besides the CNG version of Aveo.
