Nissan has launched the NV350 Urvan CNG, a new version of the premium commercial vehicle powered by a bi-fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) engine.
This is Nissan’s third CNG model in Thailand and sales started today (11 February) throughout the country.
Nissan launched its first CNG model, the Navara CNG, in July 2013, followed by the Sylphy CNG.
“The increased demand for CNG vehicles in Thailand has created new opportunities for Nissan,” said Hiroyuki Yoshimoto, president of Nissan Motor (Thailand).
“With outstanding performance, more space and great fuel efficiency, we are confident the CNG version of the NV350 Urvan will provide excellent value in this segment.”
The new NV350 Urvan CNG is powered by a QR25DE engine, which generates 147 horsepower at 5,600rpm with a maximum torque of 213 Nm at 4,400rpm.
