AGP Pratham | 10 August, 2022
Introduction
A CNG vehicle is known to be environment as well as pocket-friendly. People heavily use CNG kits in major cities because it is affordable as compared to other fuels. The biggest convenience of CNG kits is that they can convert most petrol/LPG cars into CNG cars without any heavy modifications.
Read ahead to know everything you need to keep in mind before installing CNG kits on your vehicles.
1. Availability of CNG gas stations
While most cities have no shortage of petrol and diesel stations, not all of them have a lot of genuine CNG fuelling stations like AG&P Pratham CNG stations. Government incentives and state encouragement for more CNG distribution networks are helping establish more CNG stations to curb the scarcity.
2. Environmental benefits of CNG
CNG-powered vehicles release 30% fewer greenhouse gases than petrol and diesel vehicles. CNG also emits 95% less nitrogen oxide than petrol and diesel. This means you and your vehicle contribute more to saving the environment. It can cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30%, carbon monoxide emissions by 85%, and carcinogenic particle emissions by up to 99 percent.
3. Which car models can be retrofitted with CNG kits?
Before reaching out to your local CNG station for installation, you must check if your vehicle is compatible with CNG kit retrofitting. The easiest way is to visit AG&P Pratham’s official website and check which vehicles can be converted to CNG.
4. Cost of installation
Depending on the brand and model, installing a CNG kit in your vehicle can cost anywhere between INR 50,000 to INR 70,000. Although the initial investment might seem high, it can be quickly recovered with every use of the car. CNG is an economical fuel that yields better mileage.
5. CNG kits require special licensing
After installation, you cannot use your retrofitted CNG car legally unless it is approved by your state RTO. A mandatory ‘fuel change seal’ is required on your vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC) to legally use the vehicle.
6. CNG is the most cost-efficient fuel type
Although the installation cost of CNG kits is higher, the initial costs can be quickly recovered because CNG is much cheaper than petrol or diesel. Although the prices of petrol and diesel fluctuate dramatically, the cost of CNG per kilometer is nearly one-third of that of petrol.
7. All CNG kits are not genuine
Before you opt for a CNG kit, make sure to check that it is from a genuine brand and product. There are counterfeit CNG kits available in the market which might affect your car’s life and performance. Hence, it is always recommended to do a little research and opt for a reputed brand while purchasing a CNG kit.
8. CNG improves vehicle’s life
CNG being noncorrosive in nature, drastically decreases the harmful debris accumulations in the car’s engine, thereby significantly improving the life of your vehicle and its performance.
CNG also has a higher octane rating as compared to petrol and diesel, which means it can perform better and take you on quieter journeys.
