Opel’s CNG ecoFLEX engine have been optimized for use with natural gas, biogas or any mixture of both. Natural gas and biogas are both much cheaper than gasoline or diesel. In addition, the German government has committed to tax advantages for natural gas as a fuel until 2018, thus rewarding the eco-friendliness. CNG driven vehicles emit up to 25 percent less CO2 and up to 80 percent less NOx and are free of benzene and soot particles.
Opel Corsa 1.4 LPG ecoFLEX
The new Opel Corsa 1.4 LPG ecoFLEX with 66 kW/90 hp uses only 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle when in LPG operation and therefore only emits 113 grams of CO2 per kilometer – roughly 13 percent less CO2 than when in gasoline mode. Just like in the ADAM, range and consumption can be viewed separately for LPG and gasoline, as well as combined via an on-board computer. The three-door LPG Corsa is available for an attractive euro 14,745, the five-door variant can be ordered from euro 15,495.
