Bi-fuel vehicles or also known as dual fuel are vehicles with multifuel engines capable of running on two fuels. In internal combustion engines one fuel is gasoline or diesel, and the other is an alternative fuel such as natural gas (CNG), LPG or hydrogen. The two fuels are stored in separate tanks and the engine runs in one fuel at a time in some cases, in others both fuels are used in unison. Bi-fuel vehicles have the ability to switch from petrol or diesel to other fuel, either manually or automatically.
The most common technology and alternative fuel available on the market for bi-fuel gasoline cars is the Autogas (LPG), followed by natural gas (CNG) , and is mainly used in Europe. The Netherlands and the Baltic countries have a large number of cars running on LPG. Italy currently has the largest number of CNG vehicles, followed by Sweden. They are also used in South America, where these vehicles are mainly used as taxis in the main cities of Brazil and Argentina. Typically, standard gasoline vehicles are installed in specialized stores, which include the installation of the gas cylinder in the trunk and the injection system of LPG or CNG and electronics.
