The City ZX's fuel tank is located in the middle of the vehicle, under the front
seat. This is an additional safety measure because this
point is located at the greatest distance from both front and rear impact in case
of a collision. Thus, the space beneath the front seats is actually
the safest area in the entire vehicle.
4 Cross members surround the fuel tank to protect it from all directions. In this
way, the fuel tank is shielded by a cross frame, improved body stiffness and stable
body motion while driving. Central fuel tank layout makes the cross shaped floor
tunnel structure which increases rigidity. Through increased body rigidity and a
new body structure, bending rigidity and torsional rigidity are enhanced. This improves turning performance and helps stable driving
even at high speeds.
