SEAT pushes forward with CNG line-up

Green Car Congress

APRIL 9, 2019

A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent. Only a pure electric vehicle running on 100% renewable energy would offer a better overall outcome. But even in the event of using the gasoline tank, the switch is so seamless that the driver is unlikely to notice.

Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes.
