CNG-hybrid powered cars

CNG - For A Cleaner Future
An increase in environmental awareness - especially in highly populated areas - has led to the demand for alternative fuel concepts in road transport. Compressed natural gas is an economical and energy rich fuel. Natural gas is used as an alternative fuel to power internal combustion vehicle engines throughout the world. Pollutant emissions from natural gas powered vehicles are reduced to a minimum.

Steel Cylinders (Typ I)
Cars are usually fitted with full steel cylinders (Type I) with 200 bar operating pressure.

MCS supplies to various worldwide standards such as ECE R110. The cylinder used varies according to vehicle type. The cylinders are often combined into a tank unit. Depending on the vehicle type a total volume of 100 l is, for instance, sufficient to cover a range of some 350 km. The tank units are normally integrated in the chassis, the inside of the vehicle is not affected.

If required, MCS can supply complete tank unit modules including frame and valve as well as high pressure accessories.

Composite Cylinders (Type II and Type IV)
When weight is a significant factor, the weight optimised composite cylinders (Type II and Type IV) can be used to power cars. We work with major vehicle manufacturers on the development of new CNG vehicles from the initial stages, and we are always prepared to assist in new projects.
