New hyundai range of cars, suvs, wagons, sedans, trucks prepared to consume LPG / Propane
Founded in 1967, Hyundai Motor Co. has become the Hyundai Motor Group, with more than two dozen affiliates and automotive affiliates. Hyundai Motor, which has seven plants outside of South Korea, including Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, India, Russia, Turkey and the United States, sold 4.06 million vehicles in 2011. The Hyundai Motor product line, which includes small to large passenger vehicles, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and commercial vehicles.
Hyundai cars and sport utility vehicles continue to provide customers with a high level of content and performance at an affordable price. Each vehicle in the range demonstrates the emergence of Hyundai as a car manufacturer whose products compete successfully with technology, quality, style and sophistication with cars from around the world.
Hyundai now markets a full line of vehicles, from the award-winning Santa Fe Accent subcompact to the luxurious Genesis sedan. The vehicles were developed exclusively by Hyundai Motor Company and are equipped with engines and transmissions designed and manufactured by Hyundai.
Double Autonomy
A new hyundai LPG / Propane Model of van in USA usually maintains the same gasoline system as the traditional version incorporating the LPG / Propane equipment
Similar Price
the hyundai LPG / Propane van has a price slightly higher than the gasoline version but lower than the diesel version
Economic Savings
Although it can be established that operating in LPG / Propane mode the vehicle consumes a little more than gasoline, the price of fuel has an interesting saving
immediate recharge similar to gasoline
The refilling from the supplier is carried out in a time comparable to that necessary for refueling gasoline. The system is, likewise, very simple and comfortable.

Maintenance savings due to cleaner fuel
Being a cleaner system, catalytic converters, filters, "adblues" are eliminated, which reduces the possibility of mechanical breakdowns. Thus, for example, the service life of the oil increases with what it means for motor care
No Restrictions in Cities or on days of prohibition
The first cities begin to limit the access of diesel vehicles, in their restrictive regulations vehicles with LPG have access advantages
POSSIBILITY OF BEING ADAPTED TO CONSUME LPG
07/18/2008 Hyundai Hybrid LPG goes into production
Hyundai's first liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) hybrid will go on sale in Korea in 12 months. Operating costs should be the lowest of all hybrids currently available, although they are based largely on the existing Elantra model. He will also be the first to use lithium polymer batteries to power his electric motor. The new internal combustion engine is a four-cylinder engine of 1.6 liters of liquefied petroleum injection (LPI), powered by a 15 kW electric motor that passes through a continuously variable transmission. Hyundai Motor Company plans to start commercializing its first LPG electric hybrid, Elantra, in July 2009 and promises to be the cheapest of all hybrid vehicles available today. The Elantra LPI HEV takes advantage of Hyundai's extensive knowledge of LPG-propelled vehicles to develop a hybrid vehicle that will be very economical to use. According to Hyundai, it could be up to 40% cheaper to use than other competing models in the market and 50% cheaper than a conventional Elantra model powered by a gasoline engine. These calculations are based on the Korean domestic retail price of KRW 1,907.08 per liter of gasoline and the KRW price of KRW 1,828.65 per kilogram in the first week of June 2008.
The Elantra LPI HEV will cost more than a conventional Elantra due to the additional hardware (Li-Poly battery, DC motor and electrical control system). However, with the resulting fuel savings, buyers of Elantra LPI HEV can expect to recover the additional cost of the vehicle in about two years, according to Hyundai. In addition, the Elantra LPI HEV emits only 103 g / km of CO2 and 90% less emissions than an equivalent standard gasoline Elantra to qualify as a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV). The Elantra LPI HEV will be the first car in the world to use lithium polymer rechargeable batteries, which will be supplied by LG Chem, the world's fourth largest producer of rechargeable batteries. Li-poly batteries have significant advantages over lithium-ion batteries, including higher energy density, lower manufacturing costs, better resistance to physical damage and more charge and discharge cycles before battery capacity. the storage is beginning to deteriorate.
Hyundai developed its first hybrid electric vehicle in 1995 by presenting the Future Green Vehicle at the Seoul Auto Show. In 1999, he presented an Elantra HEV and, in 2000, an Accent HEV, both equipped with parallel parallel electric drive systems and integrated start generator technology. However, these research development vehicles have not entered into mass production. In 2004, the company delivered 50 Getz gasoline and electric hybrid vehicles (Hyundai Getz segment B vehicles in the Korean domestic market) to Korean government agencies as part of a fleet demonstration project. These were lightweight hybrid systems that used 12 kW motors and nickel-metal hydride batteries. The hybrid technology development program continued to expand and, in 2005, Hyundai Automotive Group delivered 350 more units to the demonstration fleet, 730 more units in 2006 and 1,682 more units in 2007, including Accent. VHE. The current plants are requesting to expand the range of hybrid vehicles to include medium sedans in 2010.
Initial sales of Elantra LPI HEV should be limited to the Korean domestic market. Hyundai is exploring export opportunities in markets with an excellent LPG distribution infrastructure, such as China and Australia. As the Elantra LPI HEV is still in development, more detailed technical specifications will be published closer to the July 2009 launch date.
