The newspaper said that Hindustan, whose Ambassador is essentially an updated
1950s Morris Oxford, was trying to cash in on the rising demand for gas-powered
vehicles in the Indian capital New Delhi.
Citing Hindustan’s marketing vice-president G L Reddy, the Economic Times
said that the company was also ready to launch a liquid petroleum gas (LPG)
version of the car.
The CNG Ambassador is targeted at taxi buyers and Hindustan would also rename
its existing 1800cc CNG model, fitted with a Japanese Isuzu engine, as the Harit
C-1800, Reddy said according to the Economic Times report.
The newspaper added that an air-conditioned version would soon be offered while
the CNG models would be available to non-taxi buyers within three months.
