CNG Conversion Scheme Helps NIOPDC Save Fuel, Cut Costs

Converting 213,000 gasoline-powered public transportation and commercial vehicles into compressed natural gas hybrids has helped save 370 million liters of gasoline over the last two years, the head of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, said. 
“If NIOPDC wanted to import the massive amount of fuel, it would have cost $126 million,” Ali Akbar Nejad-Ali was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
The state-run firm has invested close to $100 million on the scheme so far, he added, noting that around 330 conversion centers in 25 provinces are equipped with domestically-made kits and tanks.
