Volkswagen has launched a BiFuel variant of its popular Polo compact car in Europe. The Polo BiFuel can run on either Gasoline/Petrol or LPG. VW is expanding its range of BiFuel cars with the Polo joining the already launched Golf BiFuel. An LPG tank of capacity 52 litres has taken the place of the spare wheel in the boot while a 45 litre petrol tank remains under the floor. The Polo BiFuel boasts of an impressive range of 640km (400 miles) on LPG and a further 640km (400 miles) on petrol taking the total range to over 1280km.
The 1.4L engine used for this purpose produces 83bhp and returns fuel economy of 12.4km/l while running on LPG and 16.4km/l when the fuel is Petrol. The best part is that the system is an OEM fitment meaning that the warranty is intact. We just wish that VW brings the BiFuel to India as well.
