Ferrosite transforms and Toyota Prius to LPG

Ferrosite transforms and Toyota Prius to LPG - Today is March 5, the day global energy efficiency. To offset some emissions from the post of Group B Rally, we will see what a real measure to reduce consumption. Ferrosite workshops and R-115 are approved for LPG conversions Toyota Prius, currently the exclusive.

It can transform the models of second generation (2G or II) and current (III or 3G). The installation cost is 2,100 euro + VAT, ie 2,478 euros. You can get a subsidy of 450 euros IDEA LPG adapting a used car, porlo would stay in euros for 2028 to get it.


Ferrosite place a loop of 56 liters tank supplies liquefied petroleum gas in the hollow of the spare wheel with which you can do safely over 1,000 kilometers. According to the latest EU oil bulletin, the average price of LPG in Spain is about 0.68 euros per liter. That is, fill it costs around 38 euros.

The engine of the Toyota Prius goes l/100 km consume about 5% higher than when using gasoline. Ie who is doing an average of 5 l/100 km for petrol, would consume 5.25 l/100 km of LPG, at a cost of 3.57 € / 100 km. Impossible even for a diesel.

Eye, is still consuming gasoline, but much less. The gasoline engine, when cold, always starts with gasoline, and then goes to spend LPG without the driver noticing. Each time the combustion engine switches off and back on, gas will spend a few seconds. The fuel tank can last a lot, about 5,000 km.

For its part, the electric motor keeps going on its own and may move to zero emissions if the heat engine is off, as now. As for pollution, when a Prius spends LPG is still safer emissions when burning gasoline, to reduce the level of carbon dioxide emissions.

The potential savings is wild, as evidenced by the German owner of Prius II with LPG conversion took 1,892 miles to 24.67 liters of gas, or 1.3 l/100 km. I do not know what driving conditions, but it certainly is the best use I've seen in my life to be real. And as we move into euros ...

Today, removing electric cars, there is nothing more efficient than a hybrid car using gas, either LPG or compressed natural gas (CNG). And of course the economic level is much lower premium. As an electric car costs normalito, given for a new Executive Prius, to stop extra processing and still have money left over for gas.

At ITV, these facilities meet all necessary approvals, so there is no problem, it is absolutely legal. Takes to repay, depending on your driving, between 50,000 and 100,000 km. Needless to say I recommend it to any self-respecting priusero. And when you drop one in my hands, this will be the first "tune" you will receive.

Indeed, the first Prius coming out in the article is from Don Manuel Garcia Vico, a taxi driver you just installed jienense team 3g LPG in their Prius. He was the first that made a Prius 2g LPG in our country, which used a taxi as well and changed with 400,000 miles on their backs.

It is true that not everyone has a gas station that serves about LPG, but it is profitable to leave to refuel outside our province in many cases. Remember that gasoline costs more than twice per liter LPG, and has the potential to rise much higher than gas.

Of course for taxi drivers in Madrid this is like the elixir of eternal youth, because there are several refueling points. According Ferrosite, no guarantee is lost Toyota to make this transformation, so after much reflection, I have no stick to it. There is an exciting sport ... but what?
