CNG Buying in Bangladesh
CNG is basically a three-wheeler like an auto-rickshaw and is much smaller in size. This type of car is mainly designed to run on natural gas. As a result, fuel consumption is lower than that of conventional petrol or diesel vehicles. Moreover, CNG has gained great popularity in Bangladesh as an Eco-friendly, fuel-efficient and safe vehicle for personal or family transportation.
Things to consider before buying CNG
- Engine: CNG is usually powered by a 175cc to 210cc displacement engine. A power output of 6.7 kW to 8.1 kW is available using an engine of this capacity. The high capacity CNG engine delivers good performance and acceleration. CNG with 175cc engine is suitable for driving in city area. But if you want to drive outside the city then CNG with 210cc or more cc engine is better. So, engine must be checked while buying CNG.
- Fuel Tank Capacity: Another important thing to consider when buying CNG is to check the fuel tank capacity. Because fuel tank capacity basically gives an idea about refueling frequency. CNG is supplied by a minimum 8 liter fuel tank or cylinder. Moreover, using CNG with higher fuel tank capacity does not require more stops for refueling.
- Braking system: Checking the braking system of CNG is very important for safety. Moreover, the most reliable braking system for this type of vehicle is the drum brake. Also, check that the brakes provide adequate stopping power while transporting passengers.
- Battery: A battery of 12 volt and 32 Ah power capacity is suitable for this type of vehicle. Moreover, with regular maintenance this type of battery provides reliable electric power on CNG. So, it is better to check the battery while buying CNG.
- RPM: CNG usually delivers from 3500 RPM to a maximum of 5,000 RPM. CNG with a higher RPM engine generally provides higher performance, which will overall give you a better driving experience.
- Fuel System: Currently, some CNG can use petrol as fuel in addition to gas. This type of fuel system is more convenient to run with CNG. Hence, it is best to check the CNG fuel system as per your needs.
