CNG is becoming an important fuel option for small commercial vehicles in India, particularly for businesses involved in city deliveries, local transportation and last-mile logistics. CNG-powered trucks can help businesses manage running costs while providing a practical solution for daily cargo operations.
For small businesses and fleet operators, choosing the right CNG commercial vehicle depends on factors such as price, payload capacity, mileage, cargo-body size, performance and daily running requirements.
Here are some CNG and bi-fuel commercial vehicles already available in the Wheels42 commercial vehicle lineup.

The Tata Ace is one of the established names in India's small commercial vehicle segment. The Wheels42 Tata Ace lineup includes multiple powertrain options, including CNG and bi-fuel configurations.
The CNG-oriented Ace variants are designed for businesses that need a compact cargo vehicle for regular urban and semi-urban transportation. Its compact size makes it suitable for navigating busy city roads while carrying goods for local businesses.
The Wheels42 listing includes variants such as Tata ACE CNG 2.0 (Bi-Fuel), alongside petrol, diesel, electric and other Ace configurations. The CNG/bi-fuel Ace is particularly relevant for businesses looking for an alternative to conventional diesel-powered cargo vehicles.
The Tata Ace Pro is a compact four-wheel mini truck aimed at last-mile logistics and small-business transportation. The Wheels42 listing includes a Bi-Fuel (CNG + Petrol) variant.
The Ace Pro offers a 750 kg payload capacity and a compact cargo body, making it suitable for transporting goods within cities and nearby areas. The bi-fuel configuration combines CNG operation with a petrol backup, providing additional flexibility for commercial operators.
The Mahindra Jeeto is a compact mini truck designed for last-mile transportation and intra-city cargo operations. Its current Wheels42 listing includes the Jeeto Strong CNG variant.
The Jeeto Strong CNG is listed with a payload of around 750 kg and a claimed fuel efficiency of around 35 km/kg, although actual mileage can vary depending on load, traffic, road conditions and driving style.
The Maruti Suzuki Super Carry is a compact commercial pickup available with both petrol and CNG powertrain options. Wheels42 currently lists Super Carry 2110/CNG Standard and Super Carry 2110/CNG Cab Chassis variants.
The Super Carry has a 750 kg certified payload and a 1,600 kg GVW. Its compact footprint and cargo-focused design make it suitable for urban deliveries, small-business transportation and local logistics.
Price is one of the most important factors for small businesses purchasing a commercial vehicle. The entry price can differ considerably depending on the fuel system, body configuration and variant.
| Model | CNG Variant | Approx. Starting Price | Payload |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tata Ace | CNG / Bi-Fuel | ₹6.50 Lakh* | Up to around 750 kg |
| Tata Ace Pro | Bi-Fuel | ₹5.00 Lakh* | 750 kg |
| Mahindra Jeeto | Strong CNG | ₹5.55 Lakh* | Around 750 kg |
| Maruti Suzuki Super Carry | CNG | ₹5.30 Lakh* | 750 kg |
Mileage is another major consideration for commercial vehicle buyers because these vehicles are often driven every day for business operations.
The Mahindra Jeeto Strong CNG is listed with a claimed mileage of around 35 km/kg on Wheels42. The actual mileage of any CNG truck can vary depending on payload, road conditions, traffic, tyre pressure, driving style and vehicle maintenance.
For other models, mileage should be compared on a variant-specific basis, because different engine, body and load configurations can produce different results.
For businesses operating in areas with easily available CNG, a CNG commercial vehicle can offer an economical alternative to conventional fuel options. Actual savings depend on local fuel prices and the vehicle's real-world efficiency.
CNG mini trucks and pickups are particularly useful for regular urban delivery routes. They can be used for grocery distribution, FMCG transportation, e-commerce deliveries and other local cargo applications.
Models such as the Tata Ace Pro, Mahindra Jeeto and Maruti Suzuki Super Carry offer payload capacities around the 750 kg mark, making them suitable for many small-business transportation requirements.
Bi-fuel models such as the Tata Ace Pro combine CNG with petrol, giving operators another fuel option when CNG refuelling is not convenient.
Before purchasing a CNG commercial vehicle, businesses should consider:
Payload: Choose a vehicle according to the weight of goods normally transported.
Daily Running: CNG can be particularly relevant for vehicles that cover regular city routes.
CNG Availability: Check CNG station availability on your regular routes.
Cargo Body: Consider the length and type of cargo body required for your business.
Price: Compare the complete on-road cost rather than only the ex-showroom price.
Service Support: Availability of service centres and spare parts is important for commercial vehicles because downtime can affect business operations
