Honda Thailand Combine fuel and CNG in New City


Honda Automobile (Thailand) CoVariety efforts were made to minimize the use of fossil fuels, especially in the motor vehicle engine technology. As performed by Honda Thailand that combines the use of fuel oil with fuel CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).

Do not misunderstand me, yes, here is the combination of ingredients will not mix oil with fuel gas. But there is a working system in the car that could enable the oil material, or CNG fuel. Thus control system activation, the riders performed. So there are two places the fuel tank, the fuel tank and CNG tube.

Capacity CNG tube was adjusted to the gas tube is generally applied in the cars that are already using the technology in Thailand, which is 65 liters.

For technical aspects, there are changes made Honda Thailand to make this car so safe and do not endanger the user. As the car body structure made ​​more powerful, then the CNG refueling channel is also made ​​more safety to the gas from the tube does not gush back when done refueling.

Then in the legs also redesigned. Especially the character to accommodate the additional weight of the suspension contained tubes CNG car in the trunk. Because also have to consider the additional weight of passengers later.

Additional switcher button, to move the use of CNG fuel was placed on the dashboard panel. So the driver can activate the use of CNG if it is difficult to find gas stations in a particular area.


For your information, when using fuel, engine 1,500 cc 4-cylinder i-VTEC engine can produce 120 horsepower at 6,600 RPM and gasingan torque of 145 Nm. But when using CNG fuel, power drops to 102 horsepower and torque of 127 Nm. Despite the decline, but it is quite reasonable because the engine is not only devoted to spec gas.

This idea is certainly quite interesting, because done by Honda manufacturing. Not done by any individual or home modifications. This means that if any problems occur related to the system, of course, can directly complain to the relevant manufacturing.
