Why not if the modifications are done professionally? The way is to work with the Ashok Leyland approved workshops. If there is enough demand, they might even offer some official mod kits.

I actually have used a modified Dost CNG LE for my mobile coffee business. It takes some careful planning as to where the CNG tank would go but this has been a great, eco friendly solution for me.

I think there is a potential, but I think Ashok Leyland needs to lead in this. They could really take off if they had a range of pre approved mods or an easily modifiable base model.

Weight distribution not to be forgotten. Modifications have to take into consideration vehicle’s payload capacity and the impact of additional weight on vehicle’s performance and safety, especially with CNG system.

I’m more interested in tech mods. Think about fitting your Dost CNG LE with the features where advanced telematics and autonomous delivery systems are concerned. It could be huge for some businesses.

Could it be converted into a mini passenger vehicle? It could be amazing eco friendly option for last mile connectivity in the smaller towns with some creative seating arrangements.

The Dost CNG LE is a good way to take steps towards greener transportation. It allows businesses to immediately take advantage of electric vehicle technology, without hanging around until technology matures.

I think it's just greenwashing. Despite being a fossil fuel, CNG is still a fossil fuel and methane leaks during production and transportation can negate any emissions advantages. We should be concentrating on the real zero emission solutions.

The bigger picture is all. Although not perfect, the Dost CNG LE is a lot cleaner than diesel. Even every little bit in this fight matters.

I can say that from someone who switched from a diesel vehicle to Dost CNG LE, the difference in emissions is quite a bit. It has an eco friendly angle and my customers appreciate that as well.

The question is about infrastructure. The Dost CNG LE is green only to the extent of the green CNG network it runs on. It will not be truly effective until we have more filling stations and cleaner methods of producing CNG.

We should not overlook noise pollution. The Dost CNG LE is a big plus for urban environments as it is significantly quieter than diesel alternatives.

I believe we are missing the opportunity to use biogas. Additionally, if it is possible to scale up biogas production, the Dost CNG LE could get even greener.

The Dost CNG LE is fine for the present circumstances, but we need to look ahead. In 10 years will electric vehicles be a reality and will my argument still be relevant?

Diversity in our approach to green transportation is the key. The Dost CNG LE is among the electric, hybrid and even hydrogen vehicles. Different solutions for different needs.

The switch from old, smoky diesel tempos to the Dost CNG LE would make a huge difference in air quality. And CNG does not produce that CO2, it’s not just CO2, it also does not produce particulate matter or some other nasty pollutants.

I am skeptical about the real impact in the real world. Yes, CNG is cleaner than diesel but in the increasing traffic, are we merely delaying the rate of pollution instead of actually improving the air quality?

The vehicles themselves aren’t the only thing; there is also congestion reduction. How efficient the Dost CNG LE runs means the less trips and less idling time could have a huge impact on air quality.

I drive in the city daily and I do see that areas with more CNG vehicles do seem to have clearer air. Again, this is anecdotal, but I feel that widespread adoption of the Dost CNG LE would make a big difference.

The whole lifecycle has to be considered. The problem with CNG is that if the production and transportation of CNG is not clean then we may just be moving the problem around rather than solving it.
