Equipped with a 130 hp 4-cylinder turbo engine, the Volkswagen Golf TGI has 3 natural gas tanks with a total capacity of 17.3 kg, which allows a range of 402 to 422 km.
The compact sedan can also run on gasoline, thanks to a small 9-liter tank that allows it to cover an additional 150 km.

Driving on natural gas considerably reduces CO2 emissions.
Compared to gasoline or diesel, natural gas contains a significantly higher amount of energy and a low carbon content.
This is the reason why a CNG engine produces around 25% less CO2 emissions than a gasoline engine.
In addition, it is possible to obtain a better carbon footprint by filling up with biomethane or e-gas.
The first is obtained from plant residues, while the second comes from surplus green electricity (Power-to-Gas).
In addition, the combustion of natural gas generally produces fewer emissions than gasoline or diesel.
Exhaust gases contain much less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (NOx), while the rate of soot or fine particles is minimal.
There is only one downside: a somewhat disparate distribution network.
But if you have a station not far from you, it's worth it.
