Without a doubt, CNG or compressed natural gas is one of the newest alternatives fuels around. Compared to regular petrol, it doesn’t emit too much harmful exhaust gases. Because of that, most green car lovers have a lot of good things to say about it.
Meanwhile, Swedish manufacturer Volvo was quick to jump into the CNG bandwagon with one of their newest green cars called the Volvo S60 CNG BioFuel. Basically, the entire fuel system is already fully integrated in this vehicle’s configuration.
When it comes down to numbers, the Volvo S60 CNG BioFuel only releases 159 g/km of carbon dioxide. Its MPG rating meanwhile is pretty impressive at 31.7. That means that whether you’re in the highway or busy city streets, you’ll get almost 32 kilometers out of every gallon of CNG that you use.
When you check under the hood, the Volvo S60 CNG BioFuel boasts of a highly efficient 24355 cc biofuel engine. This same engine can generate as much as 140 horsepower and 192 ft.-lbs of torque. Though it’s far from being a sports car, it has a decent speed and in fact, it can go as fast as 130 mph while accelerating from 0-60 mph in just 10.7 seconds.
