Renault Logan is presented with a gas installation

Renault Russia together with ATS Group within the framework of the IX St. Petersburg International Gas Forum presented a prototype Renault Logan sedan with a gas balloon installation. The car is built on the basis of a production model in the Life configuration with a 1.6 liter engine paired with a mechanical transmission, the press service of the French brand said. As noted, this version is the most popular in the transport sector, which is the driver of the transition to the gas engine fuel (CNG) in order to reduce the costs, therefore it was chosen as the preparation of the prototype.

The CNG version of Renault Logan allows you to use two types of fuel: compressed natural gas (methane) and gasoline. The engine starts on gasoline, followed by automatic switching to gas. When the gas runs out, the engine automatically switches to gasoline. The main advantages of the CNG version are fuel efficiency and, as a result, a significant reduction in fuel costs - up to 3 times when working on compressed natural gas, as well as an increase in the power reserve.
