Reviving compressed natural gas capacity, one of the 14th administration’s top priorities, has entered the operational phase over the past year through a series of measures, including the launch of a free vehicle conversion program, construction of new CNG stations and increased factory production of dual-fuel vehicles. The initiative has gained urgency as gasoline consumption has outpaced production and much of the country’s CNG capacity has gone unused.
