Suzuki Access CNG – Revealed

With the increasing price of petrol, Indian buyers are exploring a range of alternative fuels. To entertain the same, Suzuki has unveiled its new Access that will run on CBG (compressed biomethane gas) and CNG (compressed natural gas). 

Now the majority of us know about CNG, but what’s the concept of CBG? Well, it is a process of converting dairy waste into compressed biogas, which is a renewable source of energy. At the Auto Show, the scooter featured a dual tank – one for petrol and one for gas. 

Talking about the design, it is fairly identical to the model sold currently, but the surprise lies under the seat. The storage now gets packed with a 6-litre CNG tank with a filling nozzle beneath it. Apart from that, it gets a 2-litre petrol tank. The brand expected the scooter to run around 170km range with topped up petrol and gas. One more thing is that the scooter gets an additional weight due to the new hardware.
