If its one company who’s taking all the right steps these days, its GM. After launching the all new Beat at an ultra competitive Rs 3.34 Lakhs, Chevrolet has now announced the launch of Aveo Dual fuel which comes with an advanced and a first for India, Sequential CNG kit.
To explain in layman fashion technology wise, if the normal CNG kits are carburetter, the Sequential Kit is MPFi (although it actually is!). For the more tech inclined, in Sequential CNG kits the ECU calculates the opening times of the injector for each cylinder injecting it with just the precise amount of gas for optimum performance and economy.

All this means that the engine will see minimal deterioration in performance in comparison to petrol mode. Its like having your cake and eating it too! The other changes to the engine includes hardened valve seats and anodized pistons to ensure that there is no damage in the long run considering CNG is a dry fuel. Chevrolet has also modified the suspension to take care of the extra weight of the CNG kit which means no impact on ride and handling as well.
The Aveo CNG will come with industry leading 3 years/100,000 km standard warranty and a service interval of 5,000 kms or six months, whichever is earlier. The car will be available from the first week of February onwards in Delhi & NCR.
