Tata is said to launch a first of its kind CNG trucks in India. The company is looking to launch these CNG trucks in the medium and heavy segments within a years time. Currently these trucks are under development and it is said that Tata will be done with the developments in the next six months.
The Tata CNG trucks will be equipped with an advanced fuel injection which will enable it to use duel fuel. The trucks will have an option to run CNG or conventional fuel diesel.
“CNG penetration in commercial vehicles has been negligible due to the limited supply. With the government committed to expand the network, one can expect the automakers to tap the opportunity. However, it is still a while to go,” said an auto analyst, adding that one of the markets that has a considerable penetration of CNG in commercial vehicles is Thailand.
Tata for the moment is working on the technology. It is to be noted that the CNG technology will be used on existing truck ranges including SE 1613, LPT 1613, LPT 2515 and others.Tata Prima one of their heavy segment trucks developed with its Korean partner Daewoo does not fall in this list. It has been said that the Prima will not see the CNG badge for the moment. Stay Tuned.
