Avtotor is planning to launch production of the SWM G01 CNG hybrid vehicle, which will run on both gasoline and gas. Production of the vehicles will start in the first quarter of 2025 at the plant in Kaliningrad.
The company plans to produce three thousand gas-powered crossovers by the end of the year. The presentation took place at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum. The model was presented as the first methane-powered crossover in Russia.
The vehicle is equipped with three first-type gas cylinders with a volume of 28 liters each, located in the luggage compartment. It also features a set of gas cylinder equipment: a CNG reducer, a fuel rail, a gas filter, an electronics kit, a refueling device, and automatic cylinder valves.
