Bi-fuel vehicles features

Vehicle industry and environment researcher 

have focused on replacing common fuel 

with new fuels which can maintain the 

efficiency  of  the  vehicle  while  having  less 

contamination,  economically  more  efficient 

and easily available.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a very 

suitable replacement in Iran since we 

have very huge natural gas sources while 

its price is lower. Meanwhile there is vast 

distribution network in the country. 

Iran Khodro Industrial Group after a vast 

study and research  has selected production 

of the bi-fuel vehicles as a work priority  (gas-

gasoline) in line with approaching the world 

market and pioneering in local market.

Your bi-fuel Pick up has been produced to 

achieve above goal.

CNG parts*

Two main sets have been added to make 

your vehicle to run on gas fuel:

A- Kit

B- Cylinder and its accessories

The Kit is a package of various electrical 

and mechanical parts installed in the engine 

compartment. Cylinder and accessories are 

installed in the loading part of the Pick up.
