Tata Motors plans launching heavy CNG trucks by 2011

29 Nov 2010 Evaluate

Tata Motors is planning to launch compressed natural gas (CNG) powered trucks in the medium and heavy segments for the domestic market by end of 2011. These trucks will be dual-fuel powered. Along with CNG, they will also have the option to run on conventional fuel diesel. This new CNG-propelled trucks will be variants of its existing truck range including SE 1613, LPT 1613, LPT 2515 and others. Tata Motors is planning to use advanced fuel injection systems to overcome the drop in horsepower caused by using CNG as fuel. Currently the SE 1613 has 125 horsepower, while LPT 2515 has 142 horsepower.

The CNG trucks are likely to be priced around Rs 2 lakh more than the diesel range. Presently the 1613 truck is priced around Rs 16 lakh and the 2515 truck is priced around Rs 18 lakh. The CNG-run trucks will be available with three CNG cylinder capacity options including 490 litre, 390 litre and the 300 litre models.  The company plans to sell these trucks initially in Gujarat, the North-East, Maharashtra and Delhi. CNG will be 70% energy cost savings and at least 20% less emission by vehicles. CNG costs Rs 31.47 per kg in Mumbai while diesel comes for Rs 44 per litre.crackcrack
