At present, there are three main types of natural gas vehicles in China: large-scale natural gas buses and city taxis, natural gas heavy trucks with a certain amount, and ordinary civil gas cars.

The advantages of using gas as fuel for vehicles:

1. Adapt to a high compression ratio. The main component of vehicle gas is an alkane or hydrocarbon gas, which has good anti-knock performance, so it can adapt to vehicles with a high compression ratio and has wider adaptability than vehicle fuel.

2. Clean and environmentally friendly. The emission pollution of natural gas vehicles is much lower than that of gasoline-fueled vehicles. 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%.

3. High economic benefits. The current price of natural gas is generally lower than that of gasoline and diesel. The price of vehicle gas in most cities fluctuates between 3.5-4.5 yuan per cubic meter. Compared with gasoline and diesel, it has obvious advantages in selling prices. The operating cost of gas vehicles is generally 0.2-0.3. Yuan/Km and the operating cost of a fuel vehicle with the same displacement is twice that of a gas vehicle.

4. Extend the oil replacement cycle. Natural gas is easy to diffuse and mixes evenly with air in the engine. The combustion is relatively complete and clean, and it is not easy to produce carbon deposits. It has good anti-knock performance and does not dilute the lubricating oil. This greatly reduces the wear of parts in the engine cylinder and makes the engine's service life and lubricating oil's service life have increased substantially.

5. Security. The safety of gas vehicles is the most concerned topic in the promotion of gas vehicles. People are worried about the safety of natural gas vehicles, especially CNG vehicles. Natural gas is much better than gasoline because it has to accumulate to 5% before reaching its lower combustion limit. What's more important is that natural gas is lighter than air. Its density is only 55% of air. If it leaks a little, it will easily diffuse into the atmosphere and will not reach the low combustion limit.
