The way ahead with lower emissions and less noise pollution.
The Finnish factory of Canada Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has developed the world's first natural gas-powered snowmobile, it said Wednesday.
The Lynx-branded model is to be sold mainly to central European skiing resorts, which requested the development of a gas-powered alternative a couple of years ago.
Using gas instead of petrol as fuel significantly cuts emissions as well as engine noise. Further, natural gas is up to 70 per cent cheaper than petrol.
In Austria, for example, there are about 40 natural gas filling stations.
