Laminated glass
The glass is reinforced which provides
better protection against break-ins and
improved sound insulation in the pas-
senger compartment. The windscreen
and other windows* have laminated glass.
Bi-Fuel* - introduction to vehicle
gas
Cars with Bi-Fuel engines can be driven on
either vehicle gas or petrol. Vehicle gas can be
biogas or natural gas. Vehicle gas is also called
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).
Methane is the main component in vehicle gas. In
natural gas, the methane content varies between
85% and 98%. In biogas, the content is almost
100%.
The tanks for vehicle gas are mounted under the
floor in the cargo area and do not affect the nor-
mal petrol tank.
The system is tested in the same way as for pet-
rol cars. The system is closed which means that
leaks are avoided during filling, for example. The
gas tanks are protected and are made to with-
stand a collision. The gas is lighter than air, non-
toxic and has a higher ignition temperature than
petrol and diesel. The risk of fire or explosions in
the event of traffic accidents is therefore lower
than with petrol and diesel.
The tank is equipped with a safety valve that
allows the gas to evacuate from the tank in the
event of abnormally high pressures. This valve
ensures that the tank cannot explode.
