All the car manufacturers are bitten by the high fuel costs. They are racing to get the most effective engines to resolve the fuel issues and high level of emissions.
Mahindra & Mahindra is known to produce the topmost utility vehicles and recently the company has launched its leading and popular Bolero with CNG.
CNG (Compressed natural gas) normally have a low pick up and comparatively poor performance. Even though Mahindra had this thought in mind, it still launched this big utility vehicle with CNG version. By introducing CNG to Bolero, Mahindra is simply trying to get well around high fuel costs. It is believed to be the first CNG variant in the large utility vehicles.
CNG is considered to be the cheapest fuel available in the country. Government is also supporting the shift towards CNG as it will save the natural resources and also reduce pollution.
Will CNG Bolero be as successful as the original Bolero? Bolero is a popular car but some doubts are raised for the popularity of CNG variant. Currently, the numbers of CNG filling stations are limited. But once the number of CNG filling stations is increased in the country, the car is sure to get popularity.
This is a good approach by Mahindra & Mahindra to resolve the environmental issues. I have heard that the car will cut the operating costs by almost 40-50%. That’s good enough to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce pollution.
I do agree with Ragini but what about the lack of CNG in India. This is a big issue these days. Even though many car makers are shifting from petrol to CNG engines, the country has limited CNG stations. I think now it’s high time for the government to take an initiative and resolve the CNG issue.
Yes, Shilpi, you are absolutely right. The car makers are making attempts to reduce pollution and now its time for the government. I think that the government should also reduce tax on such vehicles so that more and more numbers can be introduced.
So many of the car makers are concentrating on more fuel efficient cars. Thats really a good thought given by the auto makers. I personally think that this car will be successful as the car buyers are looking for much fuel efficient cars and this is good time to introduce such cars.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
