Natural-gas Vehicle Design——Chassis Modifications

Several modifications in the suspension from the NGV may be required to generate space for the fuel-storage storeroom. In the rear of the car, a semi-trailing arm stop sometimes replaces the lateral-link suspension that comes normal in many gasoline-powered cars. This specific creates more open region in the rear undercarriage, but nevertheless provides a smooth, comfortable journey. NGVs also remove the additional tire and jack, which allows for a flat floor technique. "Run-flat" tires, such as the Continuous Mobility Tires from Goodyear Tire, are installed to compensate for the fact that the spare steering wheel and jack are lacking.
