Several countries and major automakers have agreed to set up a goal for going all-electric by 2040, such that the number of electric vehicles will exceed 1.1 billion by 2050, making the automotive sector needless of compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, a member of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture's Exports Commission said.
“EVs are moving from niche to mainstream, and fossil fuels, including CNG and LPG, will not be used as car fuel anymore, sooner rather than later,” Hamidreza Salehi was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Natural gas and its variants (CNG and LPG) will only be used as feedstock to generate electricity in the near future and modern car manufacturing technology will not accept fossil fuels as a source of power, he added.
