CNG Conversion Curbs Gasoline Use by 15m Liters Per Month

Close to 200,000 gasoline-powered public transportation and commercial vehicles have been converted into compressed natural gas hybrids over the past two years, a member of the Iran CNG Association said.
“The initiative that is part of a nationwide scheme launched by the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company has helped curb gasoline use by 350 million liters in the 24-month period,” IRNA also quoted Navid Khasebaf as saying.
The scheme’s long-term goal is to convert 1.46 million gasoline-powered vehicles into CNG hybrids that will help curb gasoline consumption by 23 million liters per day and add the same amount to the CNG consumption rate.
