Driven by the success of alternate fuels like CNG and LPG, General Motors also eyes on this new engine technology.
Many car manufacturers today are developing CNG and LPG counterparts of their successful car models and so is General Motors. Some are even introducing the Duo versions of their cars like the Maruti Suzuki WagonR Duo, a car that can run efficiently on both petrol and LPG. Car driver can easily switch over the engine from petrol to LPG as per his requirement.
It’s good to know that the company is continuously doing research and surveys to develop the alternative fuel technology. It also plans to introduce bio-diesel technology for which it has acquired a huge land to cultivate Jatropha, a plant that contains enormous amount of oil.
As the company is becoming aggressive for its future plans in India, it is definite that India will soon see a bunch of new green roll outs.
Technology thats what drives the vehicles now. Alternate fuels are the best option and R&D of auto manufacturers are focusing in that direction to develop a fuel efficient engine capable of switching both ways. Great vision in during this time of fuel crisis.
