The oil to gas has not moved in the past two years.
The CNG version, which once became a hot topic in the industry, seems to have disappeared overnight, and all consumers in the industry have stopped paying attention to this oil-to-gas product, including taxis.
Oil to gas in the past is roughly divided into two categories, one is the original plant is the oil to gas products, for example, Citroen Elysée once launched a targeted CNG version, at that time the sales were OK, the original design of the product is more reasonable and safer, the other is the late modification of the model, as long as through the approval can be used for thousands of dollars to convert into burning natural gas.
Oil to gas is a double-edged sword, very obvious.
The advantage is that it can directly bypass gasoline, and burning natural gas can become another type of car, after all, burning natural gas at some nodes is still very economical, and the cost of one kilometer and two cents is even half that of gasoline vehicles.
The problem is also very simple and rude, indeed will be overdrawn engine state, although the use of the car to save money, but when selling the car is very painful, so all the products of oil to gas I give a suggestion: buy it do not think about selling, 100,000 kilometers later to have his advantage.
In my opinion, oil to gas is only a stopgasser, a technical change made by the market in response to high oil prices at a certain node, and essentially rely on the internal combustion engine to work.
In recent years, the topic of new energy has been hot, and in the case of obvious shortcomings of natural gas, all enterprises have begun to directly abandon CNG models and invest in the new energy industry.
CNG and EV, PHEV are new products, compared to CNG, new energy vehicles are more attractive, on the one hand, relative subsidies are more generous, on the other hand, users have subsidies to buy cars, CNG is almost nothing.
Moreover, in essence, CNG has never been recognized in the official sense, and it is more of a private promotion.
And my understanding is this: it is because of the long-term inability to endure the cost pressure brought about by high oil prices, so a large number of consumers choose oil to electricity products, the purpose is to bypass the car only to burn oil this way of consumption, so CNG turned out.
CNG is to circumvent the blockade of gasoline, the same is true for EVs, and EV electric vehicles have the advantage of number plates, and the products are smarter, faster and do not require maintenance, and more options are the advantages, which directly push CNG into the abyss.
In the past, many CNG products were taxis, and taxis had a fixed scrapping period, basically 5-6 years to replace a round, two years ago just to catch up with the wave of new energy development, almost all CNG was replaced by EVs, further eliminated by the market.
Needless to say, CNG does have its advantages, the cost of a kilometer and two cents of the car is very attractive, but CNG is essentially a fuel vehicle, for the user is only a little lower cost, but the impact of selling cars and the engine is too large, after all, can not develop smoothly.
In the new era, completely different electric vehicles directly bypass fuel vehicles, and the shortcomings of better experience are more obvious, so the exit of CNG from the stage of history is not missed by users at all.
