Hyundai NGV Kit ready for buyers
- Date: Jun 29,2008
Oriental-Hyundai Sdn Bhd, the local distributor of Hyundai models, expects its latest Elantra sports edition to capture between 10 and 15 percent market share.
The new variant, introduced by its marketing arm, Kah Bintang Auto Sdn Bhd, features original Incus bodykit parts for the front, rear and side skirtings.
For car performance enthusiasts, an original Incus stainless steel, twin tail-pipe, dual exhaust system tuned to deliver better power and torque are also available.
Wong said the company would also introduce the Accent Corazon 2 sports edition, which would be equipped with the latest bodykit from Corazon — a leading brand in customised automotive parts in the Japanese domestic market and overseas.
Separately, Oriental-Hyundai also announced its collaboration with Lo Gas SRL of Italy to introduce natural gas vehicle (NGV) kits.
“The alliance is to combat the high petrol price for the benefit of our customers. Malaysia is blessed with an abundant natural gas reserves.
“Thus, there is an opportunity to promote and diversify the use of the natural gas not just as a power source in the industrial and utilities sector, but also as an alternative fuel vehicles,” he said.
To-date, about 200 units of NGV (Natural Gas Vehicles) Kits have been installed in Hyundai cars sold by Kah Bintang, resulting in significant savings for the end-users, considering that gas is priced at only RM0.68 per litre vis-à-vis petrol of RM2.70 per litre (prices as of 20 June 2008). Estimates by NGV users state a consumption figure of between 6-8 sen per km for a 1.5 litre car.
The NGV Kits recommended by Kah Bintang are
- 2nd Generation NGV Systems from lo.gas of Italy
- Imported from Italy with a cylinder that is made of lightweight Type II fiber steel and complies with the ISO-11439 standard.
- It has an Auto-switching function, which will trigger automatically from gasoline to gas after the car’s engine has warmed-up and switching-back to gasoline is possible anytime.
