Hinduja flagship commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland said that CNG will be a big driver for its alternative fuel vehicle portfolio.
CNG’s share of total industry volume of commercial vehicles has constantly increased and as per data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), CNG trucks form about 10 percent of the market with the remaining 90 percent being diesel.
“In last two years, the delta between diesel and CNG increased which is leading to fast movement towards CNG. For shorter routes, CNG will become popular. The infrastructure like CNG fuel stations has also simultaneously built up,” said Sanjeev Kumar, head, MHCV, Ashok Leyland.
