Turkey was one of the first countries which was introduced to the LPG version of the Terios which was named as TeriosEco. It seems that Daihatsu is getting ready to market it in almost all European Countries including Germany.
The 2010 model of the Terios with LPG drive and in combination with a 105 hp petrol engine adds an additional 2,750 euros (4,100 dollars) to the basic price of 16,500 euros (24,500 dollars). The 50-litre LPG tank is fitted in the boot.
The switch for petrol or LPG mode is fitted to the dashboard in the central console. The LPG tank has a range of 300 kilometres. Together with petrol mode the total range is 950 kilometres.
In Germany the average price for LPG is currently at 0.60 cents a litre (0.89 dollars) compared to the petrol price of 1.35 euros (2.01 dollars). Consumption in LPG mode is about a litre more per 100 kilometres than the listed consumption of 7.2/100 kilometres but carbon dioxide emissions are about 15 per cent lower. (dpa)
