Suzuki Unveils Cow Dung-Powered Fronx CBG

A new type of vehicle has entered the Indian automotive industry, going beyond EVs, CNG, and hybrids. It utilizes byproducts from farming and dairy facilities to power vehicles.

What is Compressed Biomethane Gas?

The Fronx CBG variant at the Bharat Mobility Expo appears equipped with a biogas-powered engine. Compressed Biogas is a refined waste product used to power vehicles. It seems to run on both a CNG and CBG module.

While such a car's prospects seemed slim, Suzuki recently showcased plans to use cow dung to produce biogas, potentially powering CNG cars in the future.

Alternative to Petrol and Diesel

Suzuki's New Initiative

This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions. Suzuki states biogas from these new plants can power CNG vehicles. These vehicles are intended for export to markets like Africa, ASEAN, and Japan.

Suzuki signed an MoU with the National Dairy Development Board in 2022 to establish biogas infrastructure.

Best Mileage Car

Expected Mileage

Suzuki explained how this project aligns with carbon neutrality goals under the Paris Agreement. This approach balances emissions by offsetting new vehicle production. Once established, biogas will cost ₹90/kg, providing 20-25 km mileage per kg, depending on the CNG car's specifications.
