FOR RELEASE: 2006-10-18
Holden's Dual-Fuel V6 Engine Delivers More Range And Flexibility
Holden’s efficient dual-fuel Alloytec V6 engine is now available in
VE Omega, Berlina and Commodore V-Series special edition models.
The 3.6-litre engine, built at Holden’s Port Melbourne Global V6
plant, runs on both petrol and LPG and delivers seamless transition
from petrol to LPG while driving, with only a small power difference.
VE LPG powered sedans produce peak power of 175 kW @ 6000 rpm (petrol
180 kW @ 6000 rpm) and peak torque is 325 Nm @ 2600 rpm (petrol 330 Nm
@ 2600 rpm).
Holden Executive Director, Engineering, Tony Hyde, said the dual-fuel
engine option gave customers an economical choice to petrol, without
large sacrifices in performance.
He said there was widespread interest in LPG options given the
fluctuating price of petrol.
“Dual-fuel engines provide a tremendous range and can significantly
reduce running costs,” Mr Hyde said.
“A dual-fuel VE sedan range can be more than 1100km and if customers
travel around 30,000kms annually, running on LPG can save more than
$1000 year depending on fuel prices and driving style.
“ The option of two tanks also offers the flexibility to run on LPG
and fill up with petrol when the driver chooses – or to run on petrol
should LPG be unavailable.”
Mr Hyde said the Federal Government’s $2000 LPG rebate was also a
strong incentive for private customers to explore the $3900 dual-fuel
option.
Private purchasers of Holden’s dual-fuel engine are eligible for the
$2000 rebate because fitting is done post vehicle production at HSVi.
LPG fuel economy on dual-fuel Omega and Berlina models is 16.0 litres
per 100km and petrol is 11.7 litres per 100km. The increased petrol
outcome in dual-fuel engine models (VE petrol only Omega and Berlina
models return 10.9 litres per 100km) is due to the weight of the gas
cylinder (just under100kg).
Holden’s LPG unit is an advanced Sequential Vapour Gas Injection
(SVGI) system, which injects gas directly into the engine, mimicking
the petrol injection sequence.
It has automatic changeover to LPG is via seamless cylinder-by-cylinder
activation and provides an automatic change back to petrol at low LPG
levels.
In VE sedans, a cylindrical gas tank is located in the boot and usable
LPG tank volume is 73 litres. The 73 litre petrol tank remains
unchanged.
Dual-fuel models are c overed by Holden’s three-year/100,000km new
vehicle warranty and are fully tested for safety and crash worthiness.
A ll vehicle safety systems (inc Electronic Stability Program®) are
retained.
There is no difference to service intervals and little difference to
service costs, with an LPG vapour filter requiring replacement every
15,000 kms, and a liquid filter every 120,000 kms.
Holden’s dual-fuel Alloytec V6 engine is available on the following
vehicles:
VE Commodore Omega
VE Commodore V-Series
VE Berlina
VZ Commodore Executive Wagon
VZ Commodore Acclaim Wagon
VZ Commodore Ute
VE dual-fuel models have begun production and can be ordered
immediately.
Dual-fuel Alloytec V6 engine option price:
$3900
Federal Government rebate of $2000 applies.
