Price of fuel is now is crazy with more than a 40% increase, it cant be easy on anyone’s pockets. NGV is a great alternative to fuel which is a fraction on the price minus the power. From reviews that i have heard from blogs, the power reduction is about 30% but considering the savings, its well worth it.

Petrol price stands at RM2.70 a litre and NGV is priced at only RM0.68 per litre.

However installing NGV is not always the cheapest affair. Let say i were to install NGV on my Hyundai Accent , it would cost me RM5850 for the installation. Of course there are several different standards in NGV installation.Kah Bintang, the distributor of Hyundai cars in Malaysia have started installing NGV in their new cars to help ease the burden and the kinda tanks they are installing?

2nd Generation NGV Systems from lo.gas of Italy
* Imported from Italy with a cylinder that is made of lightweight Type II fiber steel and complies with the ISO-11439 standard.
* It has an Auto-switching function, which will trigger automatically from gasoline to gas after the car’s engine has warmed-up and switching-back to gasoline is possible anytime.

Its recommended to ensure you are installing a NGV kit from a reputable company.Its so new that im not too sure the the safety of having this tank installed is guaranteed. The tanks are normally installed in the booth of your car and most accidents happen there so you want to ensure the tank you are installing would be able to handle it!

OCBC Bank

Looking forward to install to your car?

Naza Group of Companies may work together with OCBC Bank to offer customers financing for the installation of the natural gas (NGV) facility in cars.

    I’m considering it actually. Only thing holding me back now is the tank. My woofer is already using up half the space and now if the tank goes in, there goes my trunk space.

    You can also get ur woofer “customed” to fit the side of the booth space which will give u more space.. Im not sure how much customization would cost but worth a try man :)
