Engineer Elvin Inoa, who works in Servicios de Gas Natural (SGN) that converts gasoline and propane vehicles to natural gas, says that 80% of all vehicles can be successfully converted. Spokesmen for taxi syndicates had said only 20% of the vehicles could be converted, arguing vehicles were on average 10 years old.
He said that the process should not be used only in cases of cars that are in very poor condition.
As reported in Hoy, company engineer Manuel Guerra said that the natural gas installations are safer. He said the tank that is installed is resistant to any crash. He said another advantage is that there is no risk of explosion due to a spark.
Pedro Manuel Lama, also of SGN said the company is preparing the installation of 15 new natural gas stations, following the announcement by the government that it would help 20,000 public transport taxis convert to run on natural gas. SGN has three shops in operation.
