What do you think about the CNG600-mono project(developed in Austria)?
The CNG600-mono project make it possible to drive a range of 372 miles(600km) with a dedicated cng vehicle. The Zafira B is very close to the mass-production. I hope this car will be produced soon.

Thanks so much ZafiraCNG for the excellent pics and info on GM/Opel Zafira that is available in Europe (Germany, Italy & France).

Now the USA just NEEDS about 150,000 of these !!! How about ALL of the troops in Iraq make a stopover in Germany to purchase a Zafira and import them back to USA !!! We could DOUBLE the number of cng vehicles in USA in one fell swoop!!!

Keep in mind that GM thinks cng is a lost cause in the US where, they believe, "E-85 has all the buzz". We need someone like Boon Pickens to pay for some adds showing Americans what we are missing out on. I just can't believe that we are screwed out of getting these cars, and by our own car company (GM/Opel). Mayby the bumper stickers in Utah will create some pressure.

It has to be nationwide demand to get their attention, the Midwest, South and East are going to have to yell as loud as the western states to do any good.
