ZAP Jonway announced that it is launching its first HYBRID CNG vehicle with Jonway Auto's A 380 SUV.
This new CNG SUV, named CN 380 is focused on the accelerating growth in CNG vehicles in many developing countries and in the United States.
The HYBRID CNG engine in the CN 380 seamlessly allows the driver to utilize the regular gasoline engine when the CNG fuel is depleted, and also automatically uses the gasoline as fuel to run the engine when it is in a cold start state and the engine is warming up. The CNG tank capacity is the same as the gasoline tank, thus offering the driver double the amount of fuel available, inclusive of the existing gasoline tank which is used as the backup.
CN 380 SUV, based on Jonway Auto's A380 SUV, comes in either 1.6 L or 2.0L for manual transmission or the 1.8L for both automatic as well as manual transmission.
ZAP Jonway is now marketing and promoting this CNG product line for its international market, targeting South America initially where CNG fueling stations are popular; with the goal of addressing the U.S. market at some time in the future when the vehicle is fully type approved for the U.S.
ZAP is adding a HYBRID Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an additional product in its line of New Energy Vehicles.
