Copergás pronounces on the initiative regarding fuel

André Campos, president of Copergás, highlighted the importance of developing incentives for the use of Vehicle Natural Gas (CNG) by app drivers and taxi drivers.

According to the company's president, at this time of high fuel prices, CNG is an option that everyone is looking for to reduce costs. The entities, under the guidance of the governor, Paulo Câmara, are working to contribute to the return of the state's economy and population.

Also present at the launch were Alberes Lopes, state secretary for Labor, Employment and Qualification, Antonio Moraes, state deputy, representatives of the Fuel Retail Trade Union, among others.

The line of credit from Copergás and other entities can be contracted by both individuals and legal entities, requiring one year of operation. For those who are app drivers, you must have a 4,7 star rating on your profile and submit app screenshots that prove the rating, number of trips and time spent in the app.

In addition, the activity will have to be legally regularized in the municipality of origin. Those who are interested in registering should access the agency's website. On the website it is also possible to find more details about required guarantees and necessary documents.

The first 200 who contract the financing will receive a R$ 100 voucher to fill up with fuel. Furthermore, those who register will also receive a 5% discount for installing the gas kit in accredited workshops.
