[AUTO] Dacia Duster Anniversary Limited Series: 1,000 km between refuelings thanks to LPG

[YaKuZa--BoSs]

 

The robust and austere Romanian SUV of the Dacia Duster is 10 years old and its Limited Anniversary Series is already adopting a new version powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), less polluting and more economical. Also more practical, since the car is awarded the ECO label of the DGT that allows to overcome some restrictions of entry to the center of the main cities. Dacia already offers versions of this type of fuel in its entire range of passenger cars.

The Dacia Duster TCe 100 ECO-G GLP is sold in Spain for 16,700 euros. Underlines the brand's philosophy of affordable prices, robust and spacious vehicles with appreciable standard quality.

 

The Dusters manage to overcome the 1,000 kilometer barrier without refueling thanks to their two tanks: the petrol tank, with a capacity of 50 liters, and the LPG tank, with 42.

 

 

The data collected by the Renault Group company from the Spanish Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Operators (AOGLP) is remarkable: LPG fuel emits 68% less nitrogen dioxide and 12% less compared to gasoline CO2. It is also noted that the annual savings that can be generated by filling the tank can be 37%.

A common stumbling block to accessing this more sustainable technology has been the shortage of service stations with availability of LPG, but it is already being rectified throughout the Spanish territory, where this fuel can be found in 600 gas stations that cover all regions.

LPG increases the life of the gasoline engine, since its combustion is cleaner and stops the deterioration of mechanical components.

LPG is not the only news from the Dusters, who have already sold 100,000 units in Spain. The version with the turbocharged three-cylinder Turbo Control Efficiency engine reaches the range with 100 HP of power and a maximum torque of 160 Nm accessible in low ranges, according to Dacia. It complies with the Euro6Dtemp standard and must not exceed the emission of 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

The price of the Dacia Duster Prestige TCe 100 is 16,000 euros and is available at the brand's dealers in Spain.
