CFS International news update
CFS Technical Director, Dr Hien Ly, was invited to give several presentations on CNG vehicle safety at several Australian and international forums during 2010. They included:
- A presentation on CNG vehicle safety at the Queensland Chapter of Engineers Australia's Risk Engineering Society at the Hawken Auditorium of Engineers Australia in Brisbane on 23 Feb 2010. The theme of this seminar was "Natural Gas Safety – Perspectives from Transport and Industry". As Brisbane City has 500 CNG buses, or 50% of its city bus population, CNG bus safety is a subject of great interest to both its city planners, safety authorities and the general population. Consequently, the presentation attracted a large audience which filled up the auditorium.
- Support for the Second Annual CNG-NGV Vietnam Forum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on 28-31 March 2010, where he gave presentations at the annual ANGVA Lecture and Workshop. The theme of the 2010 Forum was "Implementing Pipeless Infrastructure for the Industrial and Public Transportation Sector". Dr Ly's presentation was on the "Safety requirements of CNG mother daughter systems". His ANGVA Lecture and interactive Workshop was on "CNG Mother Daughter System Operational Safety".
