Indian auto major, Tata Motors, is expected to launch the CNG version of the Nano by Diwali this year. The CNG version holds a sequential gas injection system with a calibrated EMS system to switch between the CNG and petrol. With a claimed efficiency of 35 km to a liter, the Nano aims at reviving its sales figures.
The CNG Nano will house a 35 litre CNG tank along with a 15 litre petrol tank will fuel the same 624 cc two cylinder petrol engine. The suspension will be tuned to absorb the added weight. The CNG tank will have leakage detection system that would shut the tank even for mildest of a leak. Intelligent placement of the CNG tank will not hamper the space in the car. The extra care is taken to avoid unfortunate incidents of burning that marred the beginning of the Nano.
The price of the CNG version is expected to be 20 per cent above the existing price of the Nano.
