Geneva preview: PGO Cevennes Turbo-CNG


Considering that the number of natural gas powered vehicles in Switzerland more than doubled last year, PGO determined that the Geneva Auto Show would be an excellent location to debut their newest offering.

Looking vaguely like an early Porsche cabriolet, the PGO CĂ©vennes Turbo-CNG is equipped with a 1.6L turbo engine that is good for 150hp. Only emitting 118 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the car can travel up to 450km on a single tank and get from 0 to 100km in 6.5 seconds. A joint effort between PGO Automobiles of France and BRA GmbH in Germany, the car will go into production soon and cost an equivalent of 44,000 euros.
