An enlarged meeting of the Committee of the RF CCI on Energy Strategy and Energy Development “Problems and prospects of development of gas-cylinder vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation.”

Despite the obvious benefits, the amount of motor fuel in Russia at present is quite low. One of the reasons forcing vehicle owners to stop using gas fuel – is the high price of gas equipment installation and the lack of tax incentives in relation to the gas-cylinder vehicles. In addition to that, in some regions of the Russian Federation significant causes for failure of the transition to natural gas are and administrative barriers.

Main purpose of the meeting – the development of specific proposals to promote the development of the park gas-cylinder vehicles in Russia.

During the meeting, presentations were made of OAO “Gazprom”, JSC “SIBUR Gazservis”, OJSC “KAMAZ”, JSC “Interaviagaz”, OOO «Hyundai ComTrans Rus” projects “City Car” CJSC “YAROVIT Motors” and “Gas-cylinder car” Gazelle “”, and the National Natural Gas Vehicle Association of the Republic of South Korea.
