camchennai ; What happened to this WINGER CNG? Any further news on this. I don't see many WINGER on the Chennai roads.
Friends at IAB and EartFusion have clicked pics of Winger CNG doing testing somewhere off Pune. The Tata Winger is an MPV from the Tata stable, one that is designed as a versatile vehicle that can play various roles from being a people mover, a school bus or even an ambulance.
The Winger is currently available with two diesel engine options,
- 2 liter naturally aspirated, 68 Bhp-115 Nm, direct injection diesel that powers the Tata Sumo
- 2 liter turbocharged intercooled(TCIC), 90 Bhp-190 Nm engine that used to power the Tata Safari previously.
The Winger is also available with a wide range of seating options ranging from 9 to 13 seats, with air conditioning. The arrival of the CNG version of the Winger will only make it a much more attractive proposition for cab operators who will love the economy of CNG along with the hassle free operation of a factory fitted CNG kit, which could also come with the standard 1.5 Lakh Km/18 month warranty that current Wingers come with.
As per IAB, Tata Winger CNG is due for a launch very shortly as the model has been testing for close to a year now (Rusted body panel as a proof of long testing). So, expect the Tata Winger CNG to be available very soon at a Tata dealer near you. Meanwhile, the other noteworthy aspect of the Winger CNG is that the passenger van with the CNG fuel option would mean that tail pipe emissions are well taken care of as CNG is a clean burning fuel which produces very less emissions as compared to diesel.

I don't get TATA's policy. What are they trying to achieve with WINGER? Who and Why anyone will use the WINGER? The vehicle is neither here nor there with w.r.t seating capacity. I can only think of corporates or schools using the WINGER?

Running cost will be low in CNG when compared to Diesel, so cab operators will opt for CNG
