The Council experts considered that the introduction of CNG in the new mass transit system will mean reduction of 25,870 tons in emissions. The public transport service will also enable a 39% cut in travel time, 19% in costs and an improvement in operations and infrastructure.
Last year, Hyundai had shown its intention to provide CNG buses for RUTA. Mexico already has several ongoing projects related to natural gas fueled public transportation in urban centers such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Querétaro, Ciudad Juarez, Saltillo, Culiacan and Mexico City.
