CFAO Equipment, a subsidiary of CFAO Nigeria, made a presentation at a training workshop held recently in Lagos on alternative fuel. The company made presentations on two compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered products it distributes in Nigeria—the King Long bus and the Sinotruk Howo truck.

Aside from the automotive journalists, in attendance were; the chief executive officer, the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi), Michael Oluwagbemi, and the director general of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), who were ably represented.
Organised by the Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA), the theme for this year’s workshop was ‘CNG/LPG/EV Initiative: Challenges, Sustainability, Opportunities, and Alternatives to Fossil Fuels in Nigeria’.

In the company’s presentation, the Sales manager, CFAO Equipment, Caleb Bamidele, stated that the CNG-powered vehicles are cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

The 7-meter King Long CNG bus is aimed at reducing the financial strain on transporters and commuters while also offering an environmentally friendly solution, he explained.

The King Long bus, equipped with four 80-litre CNG cylinders, ensures ample fuel capacity and reduces the need for frequent refills—a significant step forward in Nigeria’s efforts to lower transportation costs. With a spacious 25+1 passenger capacity, the bus is ideal for various transportation needs, including commercial transport, school shuttles, and staff buses.

Moreover, the bus’s top-mounted 12kW air conditioning system ensures that passengers travel in comfort. Added features like a rearview camera enhance the overall safety and ease of operations for drivers.

The King Long bus is powered by a YC4D140N-50 engine that complies with Euro V emission standards, offering both fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

This ensures that bus owners can save on fuel costs while helping to reduce the harmful pollution associated with traditional petrol and diesel engines.

Designed with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 7,000 kg, the bus is suitable for city and inter-city travel, making it a versatile option for both private and public transport services in Nigeria. It comes with a warranty of 12 months or 100,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, underscoring CFAO’s commitment to providing reliable solutions for Nigerian roads.

The sales manager also made a presentation on the CNG-powered Sinotruk Howo truck, explaining that the Howo N CNG tractor is built tough to withstand the challenging terrain in construction, logistics, and other businesses in the different topographies of the country.

It comes with a Sinotruk MAN gas engine, carrying a 6-cylinder in-line system with water cooling, turbocharging, and intercooling. Its rated output is 430 hp (316 kW) at 1900 rpm, offering a maximum torque of 2100 Nm at 1000~1400 rpm.

Other salient features of the dynamic engine include the air compressor, Germany WABCO brand; the supercharger, American Cummins brand; the cylinder block, Germany MAN brand; the oxygen sensor, Japan NTK brand; the intercooler; and the radiator, Germany Behr.

Also, it comes with a single-plate dry diaphragm spring clutch of 430 mm in diameter, hydraulically operating with air assistance. Its transmission model, HW19710, has 10 forward and 2 reverse.

On display at the event was the King Long bus, which was inspected by both officials of the NADDC and the PCNGi.

CFAO Equipment Nigeria is ensuring that spare parts and after-sales services are readily available across its nationwide network, offering operators peace of mind in maintaining their buses.
