Ideale Bus

Tata Motors is a leader in heavy duty and light duty natural gas vehicles in the Indian market and a leading vehicle manufacturer globally. Tata Motors has always been at the forefront of innovation providing products and mobility solutions catering to discerning needs of the society. Taking a leap, Tata Motors displayed LNG technology on Tata Prima Truck at Auto Expo 2014 followed by the country's first LNG Powered bus in November 2016, at Kerala. LNG is the cleanest form of alternate fuel, which is much safer than conventional fuel and CNG.

TATA LPO 1613 LNG - Tata Motors is the first OEM to offer a passenger vehicle with integrated LNG system for Indian market. This is a standard floor height Bus (1100 mm), built on LPO 1613 platform for city application with improved TCO, increased utility space, best in class NVH and safety. It is environmental friendly with 30% lesser greenhouse gases emission. It offers best-in-class fuel economy as LNG is the cheapest fuel available and has high density. It has enhanced safety features such as fuel and vapour shut-off valve, excess flow valve, and primary and secondary relief valve. A single LNG tank used in the vehicle results in increased range, lesser complexity of operation and lower maintenance. The LNG tank and LNG system has been approved by PESO.

USP:

Offers higher range - LNG has 2 times range of the fuel density of CNG
LNG operates at lower pressure - as operating pressure for LNG is 15 bar against CNG of 200 bar
LNG is safer - evaporates quickly and being lighter than air, it does not stick around it to catch fire
Faster fill times - 50% faster for LNG than for CNG
Best in class TCO

Applications:

Intra city
