Advantages of Dual-Cylinder Setup in CNG Models

• Improved Boot Space: Dual cylinders are typically smaller and can be more easily accommodated in the vehicle, resulting in better utilization of boot space.
• Better Weight Distribution: Dual cylinders can be positioned to distribute weight more evenly, improving the vehicle’s handling and stability.
• Increased Safety: Smaller cylinders may reduce the risk of gas leakage and can be more safely integrated into the vehicle’s structure.
