GM India Working on LPG and CNG Vehicles
Posted on October 30th 2008Welcome back!
GM already has focused on its R&D and now they are looking for fuel options and are working on LPG and CNG variants.
We are looking at CNG and LPG vehicles for India and are closely working with our regional partners in Thailand (for CNG) and Korea (for LPG) in this connection.
- Mr. Ravi Desai (GM India, Director Vehicles Integration-India) told.
The company is persistently operational on bio-diesel plans and has required 80 hectares of land in the Gujarat to develop Jatropha, he said.
The ISL also works on ‘pre-competitive research’ with other automakers like Ford, Nissan and Toyota and has a automotive consortium.
- Mr. Prakash ( Heads the India Science Lab (ISL)) said.
He added that the Collaborative Research Lab had also been formalized with IIT, Kharagpur last year with investment of Rs. 5 crore.
General Motors Corp, which already has a science lab in the Israel, is also planning to open one in the China, he said.

Increasing fuel price has given a great pinch to the buyers. Many car manufacturers have already rolled out the CNG & LPG versions as the solution for the increasing oil price and the also the pollution.GM’ s decision to roll out these version is a good thinking. In fact the company should have taken this decision much earlier.But any ways it is better late than never.
