• Vauxhall will show a dual-fuel CNG/petrol Combo van at this week's London Motor Show. It is based on a 1.4i (Hi Tom) Merit and costs 210,920 (ex-VAT) with the manufacturer's warranty.
The dual-fuel Combo is aimed at local authorities and the local delivery market, according to van brand manager Darren Payne
The CNG tank is in the loadspace behind the front seats; it gives a range of about 100 miles on gas and the system automatically switches to petrol once it has run out. An inertia crash sensor in the engine bay stops the gas flow in the event of an accident.
