Maruti Suzuki has recently launched its new SUV Victoris in the Indian market, which is considered the company’s most advanced car ever. There is a lot of discussion as soon as this car is launched, as it has a tremendous combination of both technology and performance. But now the news is coming that Maruti is soon to introduce its Bio Gas (CBG) variant, which will not only be a fuel efficient but will also prove beneficial for the environment. So let’s know about it well.

Bio gas variants
Maruti Suzuki Victoris is currently launched by the company in three powertrain options. The first is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, the second is its CNG by-fuel variant, and the third is the Toyota Sourced 1.5L petrol-electric hybrid engine. Now the company is going to add a fourth option to the bio gas variant.
This variant will soon be introduced in the 2025 Japan Mobility Show. This version will be based on the CNG model, but will be used in CBG (Compressed Bio Gas). This vehicle will be provided with an under-body gas storage tank similar to the CNG model, which will not cause space problems. You can consider this a better answer to the dual-cylinder technology of Tata and Hyundai.
Its engine and performance
Talking about its engine and performance, the Maruti Victoris Bio Gas variant will get the same 1.5 liter 4-cylinder K15 engine as given in the CNG version. However, the company will do some small mechanical modifications to it so that cleaner combustion with Bio Gas means clean combustion is possible. Interestingly, both CNG and CBG have almost the same composition, ie the engine will not need much major changes.
Difference between CNG and CBG
Now the question arises that what is the difference between CBG and CNG? CNG i.e. Compressed Natural Gas is a naturally occurring gas, but it is a non-renewable source i.e. a limited amount of available energy source. On the other hand, CBG i.e. Compressed Bio Gas is a renewable fuel, which is made up of methane gas released from the decay (decay) of organic materials.
While CNG takes millions of years to be built, CBG can be prepared in no time. If large scale bio gas production is started in a country like India, it can not only prevent pollution from burning the remains of farming, but also convert municipal waste into energy. This will also create new employment opportunities and will prove to be a major step towards the energy independence of the country.

Launch
As far as launch is concerned, the bio gas version of Maruti Victoris is currently being produced as a working prototype. The company will showcase it at the 2025 Japan Motor Show. However, the possibility of launching it as a standalone product in India is currently low.The company’s focus is on demonstrating the potential of bio gas technology at the moment, so that this technology can be adopted extensively in the future when the CBG fuel network in India becomes stronger.
