Natural gas car conversion in Peru registers the highest growth in Latin America


The Peruvian market for natural gas car conversion has the highest rate of growth in Latin America, an estimate higher than countries such as Brazil or Argentina, stated today the general manager of Technological Solutions and Integrations (Sitec), Italo Baratella.

Sitec represents Faber from Italy in Latin America, which is one of the biggest manufactures of high pressure cylinders for gases such the ones used for natural gas vehicles (NGV).

"Due to this, Peru is the most interesting and attractive market in the region, so that the most important companies and leading world corporations in technology could enter Peru’s market regarding car conversion to the Dual System, Petrol and gas. The last one is a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ", he said.

In addition, Baratella stressed that the most important risk rating agencies have foreseen that Peru will be one of the countries in the world with projections of permanent growth.

This has promoted many companies such as the Italian group Faber to continue in the Peruvian market.

Can anyone tell me the gas milege of the avg. small car in Peru?

They have cars in England (Ford Focus) that get 62 miles per gal. Diesel but they don't offer it in the States. The Focus here get a pultry 35 MPG gasoline.

Anyone have any thoughts on alternative fuel cars/trucks like the French Air Preasure car or Hydrogen powered cars?

How about the VW that gets 100 MPG or the Toyota (That was squashed) that got 100 mpg.

The way the average Peruvian maintains his "average small car", I would estimate he gets about 4 miles/gallon.
