“Due to this system, the fuel costs may decrease by 40% depending on their type. Furthermore, this clean fuel vehicle reduces by 30% CO2 emissions, while nitrogen oxide emissions, which are the main pollutant in the cities, practically disappear,” said García, who also highlighted the regional government commitment to renewable energy and sustainable mobility.
Besides, vice president Gómez stressed that “we are committed to energy saving and efficiency and we are working in order to turn the Balearic Islands into a European model region, an example of sustainable mobility, also complying with the urban mobility plan proposed by the European Union. It is quite a challenge to progressively reduce the use of conventional fuel.”
The CNG equipment has been installed under the trunk and has no cost to the Balearic government thanks to the agreement signed with Ferrosite, the company which manufactures the conversion kits. Specifically, three natural gas cylinders of 17 liters each (8.57 Kg of CNG in total) were installed.
