Rumour: Tata Tiago & Tigor could get twin-cylinder CNG tank tech

The ALFA-based Altroz and Punch are the first models to get Tata's twin-cylinder CNG tech.

Tata Motors recently launched the Altroz iCNG with its novel twin-cylinder technology. Now, according to a media report, the company is looking to introduce the same in the Tiago and Tigor. 

Instead of using a single large cylinder that takes up space in the boot, Tata Motors has developed a system consisting of two smaller cylinders that fit under the boot floor, leaving usable luggage space in the boot. 

The ALFA-based Altroz and Punch are the first models to use the twin-cylinder setup. If the latest reports are to be believed, the carmaker could introduce a similar setup on models based on the older X0 platform. Currently, the Tiago and Tigor have a conventional CNG setup with a single large tank mounted in the boot. 

Both cars are powered by a 1.2-litre engine that produces 72 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 95 Nm @ 3,500 rpm when running on CNG. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
