Gas into Motors

26 September 2018, Wednesday

Today, Minister Karimov took part in the delivery ceremony of natural gas powered buses to the passenger enterprises of the city of Kazan. The ceremony took place within the framework of the Gas into Motors international NGV rally.

The Government of Tatarstan has approved the governmental programme “Development of gas engine fuel market in Tatarstan in 2013-2023”. Within the framework of this programme, the republic carries out the conversion of vehicles to run on natural gas, together with the purchase of gas-powered vehicles, and a mechanism has been developed to subsidise the vehicle owners’ costs associated with the conversion of the fuel system to run on CNG. Over the duration of the programme, more than 4000 vehicles were converted and purchased.

It is important to note that the republic’s automotive manufacturers pay great attention to the development and production of gas-powered vehicles. Today, 15 NEFAZ buses and 15 Lotos buses, which use natural gas as fuel, were handed over for operation. The motor vehicle fleets of Kazan carriers will be joined by a total of 104 eco-friendly buses. The use of natural gas as a motor fuel reduces fuel costs and environmental damage from harmful emissions during operation.
