Global Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Market: Overview
An alternative fuel vehicle that utilizes liquefied natural gas or natural gas as a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels is known as a natural gas vehicle. Vehicles powered by propane possess fundamentally different composition and are different from natural gas vehicles. As crude oil reserves are rapidly depleting, many developing nations extensively depend on foreign countries for oil export. Owing to this, governments are focusing on controlling their export spending, which results in high demand for abundantly and inexpensively available natural gas. Natural gas is considered environment-friendly and leads to the economic growth of the country.
