Natural gas vehicle fleet climbs to 785,000 units
12.06.12

Italy keeps NGV leadership in Europe

That high number is mainly composed of private cars and vans, which can be refueled in any of the 850 public stations spread over the country. The European leader in CNG vehicle adoption has registered a 16% increase in its natural gas vehicle fleet in the last two years (there were 676,850 NGVs at the end of 2009).
Italy keeps NGV leadership in Europe

On the commercial vehicle side, Italy counts some 1,200 CNG trucks, mainly operating in garbage collection services, and 2,300 urban buses.

The number of natural gas vehicles has reached this significant level over the last 30 years as a result of a very active retrofit conversion industry and the availability of more new car models with ex-factory CNG options is pushing the growth of the NGV market share further.

Regarding economic reasons, the savings in fuel costs per kilometer for a medium duty car running on natural gas is about 60% compared with an equivalent gasoline engine and 33% compared with a diesel version.
