The draft, which must be debated in committee session and then be approved in plenary, also suggests the VAT exemption on CNG conversions, which should be carried out in the authorized workshops. The document reports that only 25% of new light-duty vehicles imported are switched to the natural gas system, according to an article published by the website Perú21.
Moreover, the parliamentary initiative claims that vehicle purchases made by the state must prioritize natural gas powered alternatives. Exemptions are expected to be in force for three years.
In conclusion, the text indicates that a driver saves 63% in fuel consumption with CNG filling, in comparison with gasoline. In 2011, the country sold 442 million cubic meters of natural gas for vehicles, which resulted in a reduction of CO2 emissions by 304,000 metric tons.
