With Recent Adjustments, Natural Gas Vehicle Appears as a Growing Economic Alternative.

In Minas Gerais, the rise in prices of traditional fuels such as gasoline and ethanol is putting pressure on drivers’ budgets and driving interest in Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV). According to the newspaper O Tempo, ethanol increased by 7% in the first fifteen days of April, while gasoline rose by 3.7%. Diesel remained stable but is not as competitive as NGV in terms of cost-effectiveness.

The Economic Advantage of NGV

NGV is proving to be a financially viable option in various cities in Minas, such as Mariana and Belo Horizonte. In Mariana, the price of NGV is around R$4.24 per cubic meter, providing savings of up to 42% compared to gasoline and 40% in relation to ethanol. In Belo Horizonte, savings are 29% and 25%, respectively. These data, from the Gasmig simulator, highlight NGV as a smart choice for those looking to reduce fuel expenses.

Professionals who travel long distances monthly, such as taxi drivers and app drivers, can save up to R$917.00 per month by choosing NGV. Additionally, in January, Gasmig announced a 1.06% reduction in the price of NGV, accumulating a 5.17% drop over the last 12 months, reinforcing its position as one of the most stable and affordable fuels in the market.

Expansion of NGV Network in Minas

Gasmig has ambitious plans to expand NGV infrastructure in the state, with a planned investment of approximately R$ 3 million. The goal is to ensure the availability of NGV stations every 400 km along major intercity and interstate highways, facilitating access to the fuel and encouraging its adoption.

This expansion has already resulted in the creation of NGV corridors connecting Minas Gerais to neighboring states and even to Bahia, including strategic routes such as BH-Rio via BR-040, Fernão Dias via BR-381, Vitória via BR-381/262, and Rio-Bahia via BR-116/381. Currently, Gasmig’s network includes 63 stations in 23 municipalities, covering a wide geographical area and strengthening the role of NGV as a sustainable and economical alternative.

In summary, NGV not only offers immediate financial benefits for users but also contributes to reducing dependence on more expensive and less eco-friendly fuels. With Gasmig’s continuous support and the state’s strategic planning, NGV is set to become an even more central solution for drivers in Minas and a model for other Brazilian states.
