Forecast: Global Natural Gas Vehicle Fleet to Reach 17 Million by 2015

Green Car Congress

Light-duty NGVs are not readily available in North America and parts of Asia, and are, in many cases, completely unavailable to private owners, the report notes. Conversely, in Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and India—the top five markets for NGVs—there are a variety of light-duty NGVs available. Environmental benefits.

Forecast: 17M Natural Gas Vehicles Worldwide by 2015

Green Car Congress

The top five markets for NGVs are currently Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and India. The fuel has to be cheaper than gasoline/diesel to recover the additional cost of the vehicle within a reasonable amount of time. Pike Research forecasts that the NGV market will grow globally at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2008 and 2015.

IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.
