In recent years, as the environmental protection situation has become increasingly severe, natural gas has been listed as the clean energy of choice by many countries, and natural gas engine fuel vehicles have also become a hot spot for people's attention. Below we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of natural gas vehicles and hope it will be helpful to you.

(1) Natural gas is a clean fuel. The emission pollution is much lower than that of gasoline-fueled cars. Exhaust gas does not contain sulfide and lead. Carbon monoxide is reduced by 80%, hydrocarbons are reduced by 60%, and nitrogen oxides are reduced by 70%. Therefore, many countries have taken the development of natural gas vehicles as an important means to reduce air pollution.

(2) Natural gas vehicles have significant economic benefits.

●It can reduce the cost of car operation. At present, the price of natural gas is much lower than that of gasoline and diesel, and fuel costs are generally reduced by about 50%, which greatly reduces operating costs. Due to the existence of oil and gas price differences, the cost of changing vehicles can be recovered within a few months.

●Can save maintenance costs. The engine uses natural gas as fuel, which runs smoothly, has low noise, and does not deposit carbon, which can extend the service life of the engine. It does not require frequent replacement of oil and spark plugs, which can save more than 50% of maintenance costs.

(3) Safer than gasoline cars

First, compared with gasoline, compressed natural gas itself is a safer fuel. This manifests itself in:

●High ignition point: The ignition point of natural gas is above 650℃, which is 223℃ higher than that of gasoline, so it is not easy to ignite compared with gasoline.

●Low density: The relative density with air is 0.48, and the leaked gas will quickly dissipate in the air, and it is difficult to form a concentration that will burn in the fire.

●High octane number: up to 130, much higher than the current best No. 96 car octane number, good anti-knock performance.

●Narrow explosion limit: only 5~15%. In the natural environment, it is very difficult to form this condition.

(4) The dynamics of CNG cars are slightly reduced. When using natural gas, the power performance is slightly reduced by 5-15%.

(5) The one-time investment for modification is relatively large.
