Volvo Bi-Fuel LPG
LPG Tanks Require Less Space
LPG becomes liquid at low pressure. LPG therefore requires less tank volume than CNG (for the same
driving distance). In the LPG version, the new Volvo models have only one large gas tank. The CNG
versions have one large and two small tanks. It takes between two and four minutes to refuel a gas car
(applies to both LPG and CNG).
The type of nozzle for refueling LPG can vary from country to country. Two adapters for refuelling
accompany every LPG car, to make things easier when travelling abroad.

*)Above shown values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and range on full tank are based upon official
certification values for heaviest possible car with all conceivable options. A large share of the cars
produced will, however, end up in a lower inertia weight class with about 1,5 % lower CO2 and fuel
consumption values, and about 1,5 % increased range.
