The Growth of Gas in Road Transport

Road-transport Gas demand is now concentrated in markets where natural gas distribution, vehicle deployment and refuelling infrastructure have scaled together.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) has grown primarily in urban and regional mobility, where compressed methane can be served through city-gas networks and used by taxis, buses, three-wheelers, refuse fleets and light commercial vehicles. India is the clearest example: city-gas expansion, urban air quality policy and high-utilisation fleet demand have supported more than 8,600 CNG stations and a large CNG vehicle base. Brazil, Argentina and Italy show a similar legacy pattern, built around domestic Gas availability, fuel-price advantages, mature conversion industries and dense retail networks.
