1. Introduction<br />
The <strong>Gas</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> has been developed as part of the ADORE IT project (Adolescence for<br />
Renewable Energies in Transport), where the municipality of Östersund co-operates with<br />
partners from the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Estonia and Romania. In Östersund, the goal is<br />
to increase the use of eco-friendly vehicles using renewable fuels. The project period is 2008 to<br />
2011.<br />
This global guide to gas/CNG vehicles has been developed with a base in the ongoing<br />
establishment of biogas as a vehicle fuel, together with our ambition to help establish a rapid<br />
market development in our region and on a national level. The presentation of an unbiased and<br />
comprehensive information on the availability of gas vehicles is an important component in this<br />
work.<br />
The guide gives an overview to the gas vehicles available on the global market for the model<br />
year 2011. Here you are able to find vehicle prices, technical data such as range on CNG,<br />
safety information, links to further reading, official contact information and much more. This<br />
guide can work as a reference for municipalities, private and public institutions and individuals<br />
who are interested in acquiring gas vehicles, or who simply want to be informed about of the<br />
availability.<br />
This is the first edition of the guide published in English. We have never seen such an<br />
extensive guide to gas vehicles as this, nevertheless it is certainly not complete. We value all<br />
contributions on mistakes and missing data/models in the guide.<br />
The guide can be downloaded on the Internet at www.adore-it.eu and<br />
www.ostersund.se/adore-it. The guide is also of available in Swedish.<br />

The guide is the work of Mattias Goldmann and Per Östborn, commissioned by Green<br />
Traffic, the municipality of Östersund, within the ADORE IT-project. We are very<br />
grateful for the work that they have done.<br />

SÖT is a cooperation between the municipalities of Sundsvall, Östersund and Trondheim as well<br />
as energy companies and other interested parties in the region. SÖT publishes an extensive<br />
global Electric <strong>Vehicle</strong>s <strong>Guide</strong>, available in English and Swedish, and found at<br />
www.greenhighway.nu.<br />

<strong>Vehicle</strong>s included<br />
In this guide, gas powered passenger cars and light transport vehicles are included, up to the<br />
total weight of 3.5 tons. Only vehicles that can be powered by CNG (natural gas or biogas) are<br />
included, i.e. vehicles powered by fuels dominated by methane. <strong>Vehicle</strong>s powered by<br />
”motorgas” (LPG), mainly propane and butane, are excluded, since it is not believed that this<br />
fuel will be produced using renewable energy in the future.<br />
All vehicles included are available at the global market today or at least within a year from<br />
publication. We have only included vehicles that we are reasonably certain will be marketed<br />
and where at least some of the technical details are available. <strong>Gas</strong> vehicles that are no longer<br />
produced are not included.<br />
The boundary between factory produced vehicles and conversions is not clear. We have<br />
included all new factory made gas vehicles available on the EU market, as well as conversions<br />
that fulfill EU quality and emissions requirements, and can be called ”almost factory built”. In<br />
practice, this means that the gas vehicle (as opposed to only its parts) can either be bought<br />
from the conversion company, or from dealers of the brand whose car is being converted. We<br />
realize that some converters may find themselves excluded from the guide. They are welcome<br />
to present their case for inclusion in the next update.<br />
<strong>Vehicle</strong>s that can be converted to gas/CNG by the customer bringing the car to the conversion<br />
company are not included. The market for this kind of conversions is big in several markets of<br />
Latin America (eg Peru and Venezuela), and in some Asian countries (eg China, India, Iran,<br />
Pakistan and Thailand).<br />
In some markets, mainly in Asia, small gas powered vehicles are sold, such as rickshaws or<br />
tuktuks, many of them three-wheeled. We have included a few of these, mainly as an<br />
introduction to this kind of vehicles – there are many other brands offering similar products<br />
that are not included in this guide.<br />
<strong>Vehicle</strong> classification<br />
The vehicles in this guide are divided into passenger cars and transport vehicles. All vehicles<br />
primarily used for transporting passengers are classified as passenger cars, which for instance<br />
means that the Mercedes Sprinter combi is presented as a passenger car, while the van version<br />
is presented as a transport vehicle.<br />
6
Technical data<br />
Fuel<br />
The fuels that the vehicle can use are presented. If it says ”<strong>Gas</strong>/petrol”, the vehicle can be<br />
driven on both of these fuels, if it say only ”<strong>Gas</strong>” it cannot be driven on petrol.<br />
Country of manufacture<br />
If the conversion to gas is done in a different country than where the vehicle is made, the<br />
country of origin is put first, followed by the country of conversion (eg<br />
”Germany/Switzerland”).<br />
Price<br />
The price is for the cheapest version of the model quoted. All prices include local VAT, except<br />
where stated. ”Base price on home market” is the price in the country of manufacture for<br />
factory made gas vehicles, and the country of conversion for vehicles that are converted in a<br />
different country. The prices are given in the local currency of the country, with a quotation in<br />
Euros based on the exchange rates in November 2010:<br />
Exchange rates<br />
1 BRL Brazilian Real = 0.43 €<br />
1 CHF Swiss Franc = 0.74 €<br />
1 CNY China Yuan = 0.11 €<br />
100 INR Indian Rupie = 1.62 €<br />
100 JPY Japanese Yen = 0.88 €<br />
100 PKR Pakistani Rupie = 0.86 €<br />
1 SEK Swedish Krona = 0.11 €<br />
1 SGD Singapore Dollar = 0.57 €<br />
100 THB Thai Baht = 2.45 €<br />
1 USD US dollar = 0.73 €<br />
Weight<br />
The weight given is the vehicle, with all tanks full (petrol and gas if the vehicle has both),<br />
including the driver at 75 kg. Outside of Europe, the vehicles ”kerb weight” is often given,<br />
which excludes the driver. Here, we have added 75 kg to get a weight that's comparable with<br />
other vehicles in the guide. However, not all manufacturers have given any weight data for<br />
their gas vehicles. Where possible, we have given an indication based on the weight of the<br />
petrol car plus an estimation based on the size of the gas tanks.<br />
Baggage capacity<br />
In most gas vehicles, the gas tanks reduce the capacity for luggage or the cargo space. A<br />
figure for baggage capacity is only given when this is taken into account.<br />
7
Maximum payload<br />
Many gas vehicles have a significantly lowered maximum payload compared to petrol and<br />
diesel vehicles, due to the extra weight of the gas cylinders. The maximum payload is the<br />
highest weight allowed from passengers (the driver excluded) plus other cargo.<br />
Engine power<br />
For most gas vehicles, the highest power output depends on whether the vehicle is driven<br />
using gas or petrol (or other fuels such as ethanol). For vehicles that have been converted to<br />
gas, the maximum output is often 10 – 20 per cent lower when using gas, since the engine is<br />
not optimized for gas. If there are several different maximal power output figures, depending<br />
on the fuel, these are all indicated. If there is only one figure, it is indicated on which fuel this<br />
output figure applies.<br />
Cylinder size<br />
The manufacturers and converters usually give the gas cylinder size in kilos of gas, which is<br />
also used throughout the guide. When the manufacturer has only given the capacity in liters,<br />
we have estimated that a gas cylinder holds 0.17 kg of gas per liter, which is the conversion<br />
rate most manufacturers use.<br />
Energy consumption<br />
Most manufacturers indicate the energy consumption in kilos of gas per 100 km, which is also<br />
the way we present it in this guide. The exact consumption depends on which gas that is being<br />
used. In Europe, the consumption is predominantly given using the reference gas G20 (100<br />
per cent methane). For non-European manufacturers, it has usually not been possible to<br />
establish which gas they have been using, which implies that consumption figures can only be<br />
compared allowing for a margin of error.<br />
Range<br />
The figure given is based on the gas cylinder size divided by the consumption.<br />
Safety<br />
If the vehicle has been crash tested by Euro NCAP or the American NHTSA (National Highway<br />
Traffic Safety Administration), the result is given. Since the Euro NCAP recently changed its'<br />
methodology, it is indicated whether the results stem from using the new or the previous<br />
method. See also www.euroncap.com.<br />
Remarks<br />
Here, other information that we believe may be of relevance for the interested parties is<br />
presented. This includes if the vehicle has been guaranteed for very low temperatures, on<br />
which markets the vehicle is available, etc.<br />
