At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, Suzuki showcased the CNG and CBG versions of its Access scooter, drawing national and international attention. This move indicates its focus on electric vehicles as well as alternative fuel technologies. It is believed that Suzuki may launch this model in India soon, as the demand for affordable, fuel-efficient green mobility is growing in the Indian market. TVS is also in this race with the Jupiter CNG concept, but the Suzuki Access could become India’s first CNG/CBG-powered scooter.

Design and features similar to the standard Access
The CNG/CBG Suzuki Access features a design similar to the petrol version sold in India. The company introduced it with distinctive green-themed graphics, highlighting its eco-friendly nature. In terms of calorific value, both CNG and CBG provide approximately the same energy and can be used interchangeably in most engines.
Dual Fuel System
The scooter features a 6-liter CNG/CBG tank fitted under the seat, with a filling nozzle located near the tank. Additionally, it also has a 2-liter petrol tank, which can be filled from an external filling point. According to the company, when both tanks are full, the Access CNG/CBG model will be able to deliver a range of approximately 170 kilometers.
10% Weight Increase
The CNG kit and additional fittings will increase the scooter’s weight by approximately 10 percent. While the current petrol Access weighs 106 kg, the new CNG/CBG variant will weigh slightly more. A slight decrease in power and torque is also expected. The current Access is powered by a 124cc engine that produces 8.4 PS of power and 10.2 Nm of torque. This figure may be slightly lower with new settings, but in return, better mileage and green operation are achieved.
Hydrogen-Powered Burgman 400 Also Introduced
In addition to the Access, Suzuki also showcased a hydrogen-powered concept version of the Burgman 400. It features a hydrogen tank mounted under the floorboard and runs on a hydrogen combustion engine. The company has not yet revealed a launch timeline, but it clearly indicates that Suzuki is seriously working on future clean fuel scooters.

A Major Opportunity for Rural India
CBG, or Compressed Bio-Methane Gas, is considered a renewable alternative to CNG. It is produced from dairy waste, and its byproduct serves as an organic fertilizer, providing additional income for farmers. Suzuki also showcased a mini biogas plant at the show, built in collaboration with an Indian dairy cooperative, demonstrating that this project is not limited to automobiles alone but also a major step towards strengthening the rural economy.
