Kaliningrad Avtotor showed what the BAIC U5 plus city sedan, which runs on two types of fuel, will look like. Photos of the car were published in telegram channels enterprises.
Experts have developed a technology for converting a car with a gasoline internal combustion engine into a bi-fuel one that allows the use of methane. For this purpose, equipment from the Gazprom Gas Engine Systems company was used, which is produced in the Moscow region. In the future, some components of this gas equipment are planned to be produced at new Avtotor plants.
“In addition to the existing gas tank, the car has two cylinders with a volume of 39 liters each to accommodate compressed natural gas. These cylinders are installed in the spare wheel niche, which allows you to maintain trunk volume. The lack of a spare wheel is compensated by the vehicle being equipped with a repair kit, which allows you to quickly repair the tire yourself,” the company said.
So far, a pilot batch of 20 bifuel vehicles has been produced. The process of certification of the production process is currently underway.
