Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) is the same one used for heating and cooking. It is compressed to 200 bars, as in bottles used by divers.

NGV is increasing rapidly in many countries where they take on NGV vehicles (heavy or lightweight). For example: Italy, United States, Argentina, Canada, Venezuela, Malaysia...About two million vehicles are running in the world.
In France, one out of three new buses is powered by NGV. NGVert (a subsidiary of Gas de France) put forward an offer in order to get the local authority's approval: so that today, half of the provincial towns of more than 200 000 habitants acknowledge NGV. In consequence, nearly 30 towns such as Besançon, Bordeaux, Dunkerque, Montpellier, Nantes, Nice, Poitiers, Strasbourg, Valence have chosen this fuel.

The world's natural gas reserves guarantees many years of consumption. Annual discoveries surpass annual consumption. In France, underground storage avoids all risks allied to road transport and ensures a stock both long lasting and safe.
