Services - Natural Gas Vehicles
Natural gas is currently the most widely used alternative motor vehicle fuel in the world, due to its low engine pollutant emissions, low greenhouse gas emissions, and very importantly, the rises in the price of petroleum fuels.
A natural gas vehicle project requires technical and commercial knowledge which is different from that of petrol and diesel. As the technology is relatively new when compared to petrol and diesel, there are several unfamiliar issues that still need to be overcome to enable the vehicles and associated facilities (such as refuelling stations) to operate effectively, economically and safely.
With his nearly 30 years of experience in the CNG industry internationally, CFS's principal, Dr Hien Ly, offers advisory services to help both existing and new CNG users achieve their operational, safety and economic objectives.
