India, New Delhi
General Motors India says it is working on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) variants for at least three models of vehicles. UPI reports that P. Balendran, Vice President (corporate affairs) of the company, said CNG and LPG experiments are being carried out on the compact car Chevrolet Spark; upper premium compact segment car Chevrolet Aveo U-VA; and midsize car Chevrolet Aveo. “We have been working on alternative fuel technology for some time, and the recent fuel price hike has expedited the process,” he said, while declining to comment on the launch date. Balendran said it is too early to talk about the date of launch as certain tests and trials are to be done. Alternative variants of all three models are reportedly expected to hit the market within a year.
