Argentine National Ministry of Transport joins Clean Transportation Program

The Argentine National Ministry of Transport has issued  Resolution 720-18 supporting the clean transportation pilot program initiated by the City of Buenos Aires. The program promotes the testing of buses running on alternative fuels in the Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires area. CNG buses are specifically included. 

Support from both City and National administrations has already brought the participation of two major OEMs, IVECO and SCANIA.

Argentina has currently close to 2 million NGVs on the road, but they are all light duty after-market conversions. In thepast, lack of official support and diesel fuel subsidies have restricted the gasification of heavy duty transport.

Global Gas Mobility is assisting both IVECO and SCANIA in their projects, and represents them before the Regulatory Authorities for the approval of the units.
