Chevvy launches dual-fuel Colorado pickup
Chevrolet’s long awaited dual-fuel CNG-Diesel Colorado pickup truck has been launched at the Bangkok Motor Show. It is the first dual-fuel truck produced for the Thai market, and runs on a mixture of 65% CNG and 35% diesel . If necessary the truck can travel on diesel alone. CNG fuel expansion in Thailand is supported by a huge supply of natural gas in the Gulf of Thailand and a growing network of CNG refuelling stations.
Another CNG-fueled car unveiled by Chevy was the refreshed Optra Sedan and the Optra Estate station wagon. The sedan comes with a choice of 1.6l or 1.8l engines, while the wagon comes in 1.6l form only. Both engine models are capable of automatically switching between CNG and petrol for combustion.
Indian manufacturer Tata, which has just purchased British marques Jaguar and Land Rover, had quite a few items on display. Among these, the new Xenon pick-up truck, available as a CNG option besides the usual diesel variants.
