Automobile experts have noted that cars running on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) can save up to 70% in maintenance and running costs compared to those using petrol. They highlighted the benefits of CNG, including fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, improved engine performance, and increased longevity.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bayero Farah, Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology (NITT), emphasized that CNG offers stable pricing and meets international emission standards. However, he acknowledged the high initial conversion cost and the need for better availability of gas and technical expertise.<\/p>\n
Mr. Oseni Suleiman, President of the Amalgamated Union of Motor Mechanics and Technicians, confirmed that CNG leads to lower maintenance costs and cleaner emissions, though he pointed out the limited number of CNG refilling stations in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Car dealer Mr. Julius David noted a growing demand for CNG vehicles due to the unpredictability and high prices of petrol. Some CNG vehicle owners reported enjoying cost-effective and low-maintenance benefits, although concerns about conversion costs (between N700,000 and N1 million) persist.<\/p>\n
Both experts and users advocate for the establishment of more conversion centers and CNG filling stations across the country to enhance accessibility and encourage broader adoption of CNG vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
