Use of gas (CNG or Biomethane) as fuel came to save the consumer's pocket and becomes the best alternative to replace gasoline and diesel in light and heavy vehicles, in addition to reducing pollution

The use of gas (CNG or Biomethane) as fuel in light and heavy vehicles is one of the solutions found as an alternative to the use of gasoline and diesel in order to reduce pollution and also for those who want to relieve their pockets of the constant skyrocketing prices of vehicles. fuels.

Thinking about it, as an alternative to diesel and gasoline, it is possible to observe some trucks and agricultural machines powered by gas.
