This two-cylinder engine combines the environmental benefits of natural gas supply with the power at the wheel ensured by Turbo TwinAir technology. This is demonstrated by its maximum power of 80 hp (59 kW) at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of a generous 140 Nm at just 2,500 rpm. All whilst ensuring reduced fuel consumption and emission levels: for instance, the new Fiat Panda TwinAir Turbo Natural Power produces 86 g/km of CO2, a level among the lowest on the market, and uses just 3.1 kg of methane every 100 km (combined cycle).

Since October 2012, two CNG Gigabox® packaged compressors and four EMB-50-1-D dispensers, all developed by Galileo, refill a growing number of buses in Venezuelan capital city, which reached 120 units. Operated by PDVSA-Gas, each of the two refueling stations has a Gigabox® along with two double hose dispensers.

Norwegian subsidiary Raufoss has entered into an agreement with leading US passenger car manufacturer for the serial supply of CNG high-pressure composite cylinders. The value of the contract is NOK 90 million (USD 16.5 million) over a 4 year period. The products will be delivered to a production plant in Latin America and will serve as fuel tanks for a popular compact passenger car model running on natural gas.

The new system was developed by GE and Peake Fuel Solutions, an affiliate of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, and compresses natural gas from a pipeline into CNG on-site at a traditional automotive fueling station or industrial location. NGVs such as taxis, buses or small trucks, as well as individual consumer vehicles, can then refill their tanks using a dispenser with the same look and feel as a traditional diesel or gasoline dispenser.
