Pérez also said that even though other six trainings were already given, three of levelling and three of kits installation during 360 hours, the program experienced a turnaround and a greater relevance after the Ministry of Industry and Commerce announced the sale of CNG at different refuelling points in the country due to increasing oil fuel prices.
Furthermore, Pérez Figuereo stated that conversions will be immediately reflected in a reduction of the ticket cost and that the initiative will bring great benefits, because it will serve as a “job generator”, reported El Nuevo Diario.
According to Infotep officials, the goal is to train skilled technicians to meet future market demand in the move to natural gas vehicle system, following the official purposes to replace petroleum consumption.
