Cleaner and cheaper
ride with CNG

Environmentally friendly – CO2 emissions from CNG are about 25% lower than for petrol. Only carbon dioxide and water vapour remain from the combustion of CNG while in the burning of petrol also poisonous carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, hydrocarbons, carbon black and other fine particles are released in addition to CO2. Because natural gas is transported through pipeline there is less wear and tear on roads and railways and noise and vehicle exhaust are avoided.

A pioneer for future fuel – CNG is pioneering biomethane which is a renewable source of energy and an important future fuel. Biomethane is a purified biogas, equal in quality to natural gas and thus can be transported through the same pipelines. Biogas is produced during the fermentation process of garbage, animal waste and sewage sludge.

More CNG vehicles – The CNG car contains a bi-fuel engine powered by both gas and petrol. When the gas runs out the car automatically switches to petrol. CNG vehicles are produced in factories alongside traditional cars, ensuring their safety and effectiveness. Many large automotive companies now include CNG vehicles in their model line-up.

Refuelling is simple, clean and safe. EU Member States have established minimum requirements for CNG refuelling infrastructure. The goal is, by 2025, to cover the EU main road network with CNG filling stations at least every 150 km. In Latvia, CNG usage is poised to take off and Elenger aims to be part of that development.

• Passenger cars are usually bivalent – they use two fuels.
• The vehicle starts up and uses the default compressed gas (CNG), at the end of which the power system automatically and unobtrusively switches to petrol.
• After CNG refuelling, the car starts to run on compressed gas again.
• The use of compressed gas is more efficient and more cost effective than gasoline.

Most well-known car manufacturers offer passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses and trucks directly from the factory with compressed gas engines. As far as we know today, Amserv Group, Moller Auto, Keil M.A., Auto 100 AS, AS Topauto, Reval Auto Esindused OÜ, AS Autospirit, AS Silberauto, IV Pluss AS, Scania Estonia have all been preparing for the sale of compressed gas vehicles.
