Argentina
Argentinian motorcycle producer, Zanella, will in March this year release the country’s first motorcycle optionally equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) system. The model chosen has 150 cc displacement and carries two tanks of gas, with a range of approx 200 kilometers (100 kms per cylinder). The cylinders are located in the same place as the fuel tank, which in turn is replaced by a small reservoir for 3.5 liters of gasoline.
The technology has been supplied by ECOP Rosario, the first company in the country to gain approval for a gas system for motorcycles. They claim a six-fold reduction in fuel cost, while at the same time increasing the lifespan of the engine. With 60 conversion kits successfully in operation, Ecopos sees considerable export potential to surrounding markets.
Referred to as the Ecopos kit, the conversions can be applied to various other models, including Honda and Motomel. The three brands are apparently popular for local delivery services.
