March 18, 2022. The Mexican Association of Natural Gas Vehicles (AMGNV) pointed out that, given the increase in fuel prices, natural gas for vehicles (NGV) represents a safe outlet for users in industry and automobiles, no matter the size.
The entity explained that the conversion of vehicles to natural gas allows users to have savings of more than 50% per liter in relation to the costs of gasoline and diesel, since the value of the equivalent liter of NGV is below the 11 pesos.
“The increase in the price of gasoline and diesel occurs despite the incentives to the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) and the emergency plan implemented by the federal government to provide tax incentives to Income Tax (ISR) with the objective of facing the accelerated increase in the international prices of crude oil”, declared the AMGNV.
In a statement, the organization assured that the lesser advantage of NGV is compared to low-octane gasoline, and even so, natural gas remains below 12 pesos per liter, which represents a saving of almost 500 pesos to fill a 40 liter tank, with performance equal to that of gasoline.
Regarding supply, the AMGNV added that the country maintains its growth with the projection of exceeding by the end of 2022 more than 100 stations in operation. There are currently 87 filling facilities operating in 18 states of the Republic and about 67 new stations are under construction or in the process of obtaining federal, state or municipal permits.
