In Italy, Kia unveiled a new iteration of their compact Niro Hybrid SUV, which is reportedly the first tri-fuel hybrid electric car ever certified by a factory.
The latest Kia Niro model combines a market-exclusive LPG system with the gasoline tank and electric powertrain that are available worldwide. According to reports, the Niro’s WLTP-rated 1,600 km driving range is made possible by this tri-fuel technology. According to reports, Westport Fuel Systems in Italy collaborated in the development of the new fueling system.
In comparison to the normal Niro hybrid, Kia claims that the tri-fuel system adds a 40-liter LPG tank and has little effect on driving operations. In comparison to the conventional model, the tri-fuel Niro hybrid emits 6% fewer carbon emissions.
The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine of the Kia Niro Hybrid LPG generates 124 BHP when combined with a 40 kW electric motor and a 1.32 kWh battery. The tri-fuel Kia Niro costs two thousand euros more than the regular model.
