AVTOVAZ in cooperation with ATS-AVTO LLC announces the start of production and sales of the dual-fuel LADA Granta sedan with methane gas equipment (LPG). This technical solution was successfully tested on Vesta and Largus and now LADA for the first time installs LPG on the most affordable model.

LPG equipment is installed on sedans in all configurations with air conditioning. Car retrofitting is made at Togliatti-based ATS-AVTO company, a partner of AvtoVAZ in all CNG projects. The LADA Granta CNG uses both gasoline and compressed natural gas methane as a fuel. The LPG design is safe as built-in fuse and speed valve exclude possibility of its explosion and uncontrolled gas output if gas equipment is damaged. The cylinder is designed for 80 liters of gas and located in the trunk, while the volume of the luggage compartment is 340 liters. The average gas consumption is 6.1 cubic meters per 100 km. The car fully fueled with gas and gasoline can cover 1000 km without refueling. Surcharge for CNG modification compared to gasoline version is 45 thousand rubles.
