Chevrolet now offers CNG variant of its mid size sedan Aveo for the domestic market. President and Managing Director Mr. Karl Slym announced that the launch of Aveo CNG is a testament to the importance that GM India attaches to green technology and environmentally friendly mobility solutions. Its running cost is approximately 57 percent lower than a similar vehicle powered by petrol and 25 percent lower than a similar vehicle powered by diesel. Under normal driving conditions, the Aveo CNG has a range of 180 to 200 kilometers on a full tank of CNG and is BS IV compliant.

Aveo CNG car's safety is ensured by the computer controlled CNG injection technology from Italy.
The "critical to quality" CNG kit components are fitted in the factory, which includes CNG injectors, selector switch, modified wiring and suspension - to ensure high-quality and trouble-free service.
Aveo CNG car's body is strengthened in order to carry the extra mass of the CNG cylinder. Electronic Controller Unit fitted with the CNG kit calculated the opening times of the injectors for each cylinder and acts separately on each gas injector with the highest precision. This will ensure maximum fuel efficiency. Chevrolet Aveo CNG comes with a three-year/100,000-km standard warranty, which is an industry first in the mid-size sedan segment, and a service interval of 5,000 km or six months (whichever comes first). During the run of the Aveo in pure CNG mode will not impact the vehicle warranty. Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 L CNG may cost over Rs. 6.5 lakh.
