A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent. Plus, the maintenance costs of the TGI models are similar to those of traditional combustion engine vehicles. But even in the event of using the gasoline tank, the switch is so seamless that the driver is unlikely to notice.
