The Natural Gas Vehicles Company (Cargas) received a delegation from the Nigerian Petroleum Sector, which was briefed on the  Egyptian experience in converting cars to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), as one of the most prominent environmental and economic solutions in the alternative energy sector.

The delegation also listened to a detailed explanation of the conversion mechanisms and the modern technologies used, in addition to a review of the environmental and economic benefits associated with using natural gas as a clean and cost-effective fuel.

Cargas specialises in converting gasoline-powered vehicles to run on CNG.  It operates and expands CNG fueling stations across Egypt and offers servicing for CNG-powered vehicles, ensuring safety and reliability.

Earlier this month, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) have agreed to expand future cooperation and increase the contribution of Egyptian petroleum companies to development projects in Nigeria. This comes on the back of the experience that Egyptian petroleum companies have in operating projects in different African countries, as well as the good track record that the Egyptian Projects Operation and Maintenance (EPROM) has in operating Nigeria’s refineries. The agreement was made during the visit of a NNPC delegation to Egypt.
