Backed by the sales growth of 264 per cent of Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Beat cars in Gujarat in Jan-April 2010 over the corresponding period last year, General Motors India has launched the alternate fuel version of its mid-sized sedan, Chevrolet Aveo, in the state.
The new CNG version is a bi-fuel vehicle with a full size petrol tank that will offer a fuel efficiency of 18 km/kg. Launched at an inaugural price of Rs 6.26 lakhs, Chevrolet Aveo is touted to carry running cost 54 per cent lower than a similar petrol-powered vehicle and 25 per cent lower than a similar diesel-powered vehicle, said Karl Slym, president and managing director, General Motors India.
