Info

Maximum payload Many gas vehicles have a significantly lowered maximum payload compared to petrol and diesel vehicles, due to the extra weight of the gas cylinders. The maximum payload is the highest weight allowed from passengers (the driver excluded) plus other cargo. Engine power For most gas vehicles, the highest power output depends on whether the vehicle is driven using gas or petrol (or other fuels such as ethanol). For vehicles that have been converted to gas, the maximum output is often 10 – 20 per cent lower when using gas, since the engine is not optimized for gas. If there are several different maximal power output figures, depending on the fuel, these are all indicated. If there is only one figure, it is indicated on which fuel this output figure applies. Cylinder size The manufacturers and converters usually give the gas cylinder size in kilos of gas, which is also used throughout the guide. When the manufacturer has only given the capacity in liters, we have estimated that a gas cylinder holds 0.17 kg of gas per liter, which is the conversion rate most manufacturers use. Energy consumption Most manufacturers indicate the energy consumption in kilos of gas per 100 km, which is also the way we present it in this guide. The exact consumption depends on which gas that is being used. In Europe, the consumption is predominantly given using the reference gas G20 (100 per cent methane). For non-European manufacturers, it has usually not been possible to establish which gas they have been using, which implies that consumption figures can only be compared allowing for a margin of error. Range The figure given is based on the gas cylinder size divided by the consumption. Safety If the vehicle has been crash tested by Euro NCAP or the American NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), the result is given. Since the Euro NCAP recently changed its' methodology, it is indicated whether the results stem from using the new or the previous method. See also www.euroncap.com. Remarks Here, other information that we believe may be of relevance for the interested parties is presented. This includes if the vehicle has been guaranteed for very low temperatures, on which markets the vehicle is available, etc. 8
