The CNG kit for two wheelers comprises two CNG cylinders of 1.2 kg each, which can run up to 120 to 130 km per kg at an approximate cost of INR 0.60 per km per single fill. In comparison, a petrol powered scooter returns an average of 45-50 kmpl with a range of 340 kmpl on a single tank (5.3-litre fuel tank).
Presently two kit manufacturers namely ITUK and Lovato have got two-wheeler CNG kits approved by ARAI, Pune and ICAT Gurgaon respectively. Lovato has received approvals for 18 Scooter models of various manufacturers present in the market. Considering the huge potential of this segment other kit manufacturers are also planning to launch their two-wheeler kits, the company said in a statement.
That said, it isn't clear at the moment if retrofitting CNG kits will void manufacturer warranty on the scooter, considering the kits aren't factory fitted, as is the case with cars.
The CNG Kits can be retrofitted on 18 existing scooters
The CNG Kits can be retrofitted on existing scooters including the Honda Activa, Activa 125, Dio, Hero Maestro, Duet, Pleasure; Suzuki Swish, Access, Let's; TVS Wego, Jupiter, Scooty Zest and the likes. The kits are currently available in Mumbai.
The CNG kits were launched by Honourable Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan.
He said that over 36 lakh two wheelers are running in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) alone and the new initiative will help owners opt for a more eco-friendly fuel option with the CNG kit. In the last few years CNG powered vehicles have grown in MMR at a CAGR of over 70 per cent, given the fuel economics and eco-friendly nature of CNG
