The twin cylinders underneath the baggage compartment, according to the firm, are the safest option since the pipes and valves are shielded under the load floor. The Altroz iCNG also offers more rear crash protection thanks to its improved rear body structure and six-point mounting system for the CNG tanks.
The Tata Altroz iCNG has an industry-first, highly sophisticated Single ECU that makes switching between petrol and CNG modes seamless and jerk-free. In CNG mode, it also has a direct start option. Its 1.2L Revotron petrol engine includes a factory-installed CNG kit below the hood. The peak torque is listed at 103 Nm at 3500 rpm and the highest power output is 72 bhp at 6000 rpm.
