CNG Lite™ -- Low-pressure Natural Gas Fuel Supply for 2- and 3-Wheel Vehicles
Energtek has developed the CNG LiteTM system to provide fuel to 2- and 3-wheel vehicles using proprietary low-pressure technology, and the principles of Natural Gas adsorption. By converting small vehicles to operate on Natural Gas, Energtek reduces the harmful environmental damage caused by these highly polluting vehicles. In addition, Energtek can dramatically reduce driver's annual fuel costs.
Currently there are over 300 million motorized 2- and 3-wheelers on the road. These are the primary method of transportation for drivers in many Asian countries. In addition, the 2- and 3-wheel market is the world's fastest growing automotive segment. Today there is a lack of commercially viable fuel alternatives for these small vehicles.
CNG Lite presents an environmentally-friendly and affordable motor fuel alternative. The entire cost of conversion together with the fueling system is relatively inexpensive, and quickly begins to pay for itself.
Despite plenty of interest from drivers, gas companies and several governments in Southeast Asia, large scale conversion of 2- and 3-wheelers has not yet occurred due to difficulties presented by standard high-pressure CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) conversion technology.
CNG, which utilizes a working pressure of 200 bar remains unable to provide the same cost benefits as low-pressure CNG Lite. 200 bar CNG systems require expensive and sophisticated compression infrastructure to be locally deployed, while 60 bar CNG Lite allows for simpler and significantly less expensive regional compression infrastructure.
In addition, Energtek has fine tuned conversion kit technology to ensure that vehicles running on CNG Lite receive optimum fuel efficiency and performance.
