Such a reaction from buyers to the offer from the Ukrainian manufacturer was not hard to predict. Now, when the cost of a liter of gasoline often makes owners think "to drive or not to drive," the opportunity to save more than twice on the cost of a liter of fuel is a very attractive proposition. At the same time, in addition to obvious savings, the LPG equipment installed under factory conditions and the tuning of cars already on the assembly line to run on liquefied gas, at the very least, guarantees reliable and trouble-free operation of the power units. Another obvious advantage: the manufacturer's warranty, which usually ceases to be valid when LPG is installed "in a garage."
Currently, to meet customer demand for cars of the ZAZ model range, all possible modifications are available in the dealer network. As for the main and determining factor that influences the final purchase decision, namely price, the offers on the new car market for ZAZ Sens, ZAZ Lanos pickup, and ZAZ VIDA look very attractive.
For example, the compact sedan ZAZ Sens, whose advantages hardly need to be reminded of again, with factory-installed LPG, capable of running on blue fuel, costs UAH 181,300 for the Standard+ trim.
The second representative of the Zaporizhzhia Automobile Building Plant model range is the ZAZ VIDA sedan, which is also available with factory gas equipment. Thanks to the relatively low cost of liquefied gas, it will also allow its owner to save significant money on refueling. The cost of the ZAZ VIDA sedan in Comfort trim with LPG is UAH 281,750.
A representative of the light commercial vehicle segment, which is often chosen for tasks of delivering goods or distributing products within the city or suburbs, is the ZAZ Lanos pickup. Factory gas equipment installed on the delivery van will help save even more money for its owner. Especially since now you can become the owner of a light commercial vehicle for UAH 222,950, and the main advantage will be noticeable from the first kilometers of mileage, especially given the cost of gasoline.
A few words should be said about the gas equipment itself. To ensure truly reliable operation of all vehicle components, primarily the power unit and transmission, the Italian company BRC was chosen as the supplier of gas equipment. One of the leaders in LPG production offers a solution for most existing models from various automakers, who choose BRC for its impeccable quality. BRC Gas Equipment is a world-renowned manufacturer of gas equipment with a history of more than 30 years. According to the manufacturer, BRC's share in the global market today is more than 17%. This means that BRC LPG is installed on almost every fifth car that is converted to run on gas.
The gas equipment kit installed on ZAZ models is fourth-generation equipment that meets Euro 5 toxicity standards. Among other undeniable advantages of this equipment is the binary fuel supply system - gas/gasoline. This means that the binary system is dual-fuel, with a single (standard) controller that has two control programs, ensuring the engine can operate on both gasoline and gas. Usually, when installing LPG on a car, an additional control unit is installed, which can conflict with the main unit, leading to deterioration of engine performance and breakdowns. The binary system eliminates such problems with the car. Also, very often when installing LPG "in garages," owners face the problem: "where to put the spare wheel later?" because a gas cylinder is mounted in the spare wheel well of the trunk. In the case of factory installation of the cylinder on ZAZ cars, this issue is also resolved: a place with fastenings for the spare wheel is provided in the luggage compartment.
An additional argument "for," but no less important, for buyers of ZAZ cars with factory LPG, besides reliability and affordability, will be a service warranty for 3 years or 100,000 km of mileage. At the same time, the service interval is 15,000 km, which fully complies with European standards of vehicle warranty service policy.
