Mahindra has launched a CNG variant of logan. The eco friendly, CNG kit of the Logan is available on the 1.4 GLE/GLX versions and is currently available in Mumbai and Delhi. The Logan CNG gives a consistent mileage of 15-20 kms per kg, thus costing the customer only Rs. 1.62-2.26 per km, as against Rs. 3.93 – 6.11/km on petrol. For the customer, this directly translates into a reduction of the running cost of the Logan by almost 60 per cent.
Commenting on the launch, Arun Malhotra, Senior Vice President, Sales & Customer Care, Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said “With issues such as climate change and carbon footprint taking centre stage globally, eco-friendly transportation has become the need of the hour and hence the launch of a company approved CNG kit. It also reduces the running cost effectively. The Logan has witnessed a spurt in sales in the recent months, reflecting customer satisfaction with the product, especially the space offered & fuel efficiency. ”
The new CNG kits are made by Landi Renzo (Italy) and will be supplied and fitted by Logicon Alternate Fuels Pvt. Ltd. The company fitted kits come at an additional cost of Rs. 56,000. They are equipped with a 12 kg capacity cylinder, of which actual consumable gas that can be filled is 9.5 kg. The kits come with a manufacturer approved fitment with original vehicle warranty of 2yrs/50000kms. Also, the class leading boot size of Logan allows sufficient luggage room even after fitting the CNG cylinder of required size.
