Private vehicle owners may get rebate on NGV change

June 15th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister, Datuk Shahrir Samad, said that they have submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister’s Department to consider providing rebate for drivers to install NGV (Natural Gas vehicle) tanks. Due to that, private vehicle owners may get incentives to convert their vehicle to run on natural gas.

Currently, only 3% of privately owned vehicles in the country were NGV’s and most of them were taxis. According to Petronas chairman, Tan Sri Hassan Merican, the natural as price will remain compared to fuel price.

The Government planned to increase the number of natural gas stations from 70-odd to 100 this year. This is in conjunction to the Ninth Malaysian Plan, where the Government plans to build 200 natural gas stations.
