One of Bajaj's current 3-wheel commercial vehicles - the GC Max CNG
Alternative Fuel Systems (2004) Inc. (AFS) together with Indian partner Advantek Fuel Systems Pvt. Ltd. (Advantek), is working with Bajaj Auto Limited (Bajaj) on a development project involving a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelled version of a three-wheeled commercial delivery vehicle. AFS says Bajaj Auto is ranked as the world’s fourth largest two- and three-wheeler manufacturer.
AFS President and CEO Jim Perry stated that “Bajaj has sent a prototype vehicle to AFS in Calgary for testing. This vehicle is designed for use within major cities in India, where air pollution is a very serious problem. By running on CNG using latest generation AFS technology, these goods carriers are expected to produce significantly less harmful emissions while offering better performance and fuel efficiency.”
Mr. Perry added that “Meeting performance, emissions and cost requirements is going to take a significant increase in the sophistication of the engine control equipment used on the smaller and more numerous vehicles. AFS and Advantek have already demonstrated that we have the technology and the expertise to address these issues. We are pleased to be working with Bajaj on this exciting new project.”
AFS designs, develops and produces core components for the international automotive sector, specializing in the alternative fuel marketplace.
